It looks like June gloom has finally passed and we can finally feel the summer sun. Our current blue skies are creating a beautiful backdrop for all the heat-loving plants we have in the Garden. This week you’ll find a rainbow of flowers – from the red fuchsias to the yellow bells, orange lion tails, green foliage, blue plumbago and purple passionflowers. Not to mention the various shades of pink popping up in the small patch of dahlias in the Garden for the Senses. Make sure to listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below to learn more about what’s blooming in the Garden this week, then put on a sunhat and come see these beauties in person.
