The summer heat can’t keep our flowers from blooming! At the Garden’s entrance, you’ll find a stunning tropical hibiscus, and in the Dorothy and Allen Lay Staghorn Fern Collection, you’ll find the Mexican sunflower tree blooming. The blooms continue through the Desert Collection and around Tram Road. Learn more about what’s blooming by listening to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below. Then grab a sun hat and make your way over to the Garden to find them in person.
