Shades of purple and blue are taking over the Garden this week. New blooms like greater knapweed, purple top vervain and devil in the bush are bringing a royal vibe to the Garden during this week’s What’s Blooming. But there’s also a bit of prickliness – prickly pear cactus, that is. Learn more about what you’ll see in the Garden this week and then be sure to get your tickets in advance. Also, please remember that the Garden must abide by the LA County Department of Public Health and their Health Officer Order, which states LA County (along with the state of California) will continue requiring masks for everyone at large indoor and outdoor events, on public transportation, and at all retail and business establishments that are open to the public until June 15. Thank you for continuing to wear your masks.
