Some plants are making the most out of this week’s humid weather and the proof is in their blooms. Tropical flowers like bromeliads, various hibiscus and mallows, and giant birds of paradise are turning the Garden into a tropical paradise. Make sure to listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below while you scroll through the pictures to see what’s blooming and where to find them during your next Garden visit. Then put on those sunglasses, roll out that picnic blanket and grab a refreshing Butterfly Palmer from Dottie’s to turn your weekend visit into a botanical escape.
