As summer winds down, the blooms in the Garden continue to thrive. While there are new blooms popping up this week, like the pink floss silk trees, Fairy Lily and Lion’s tail, there are also some blooms that are proving the test of time. And while most of these plants are enjoyed from a distance,  when you head into the Garden for the Senses to see the lemon verbena and goldenrod, you’ll want to make sure you use your nose as well!
