As we move into late summer, the blooms in the Garden are continuing to stun visitors. In fact, the deeper into summer we get, the blooms are becoming more and more dramatic. This week’s What’s Blooming focuses on begonias, which make a variety of statements throughout the Koi Pond and Japanese Garden thanks to the variation of its leaves. But Georgiann Keller doesn’t stop there. She continues to guide us through the Garden’s dramatic new blooms, so make sure to take a listen before your next visit!
