Have you ever told people your name and their response is “Oh, you look like a [insert your name here]!” Well, the same can be true for plants. In fact, some of them get their names because of how they look. That’s the case for a few of the plants listed in today’s What’s Blooming. Learn fun details about the Mickey Mouse plant, find a hedgehog in the Agave Collection, and be more knowledgeable about the plants you’ll see on your next visit! We’d also like to give a special thank you to volunteer Georgiann Keller who helps put this insightful audio blog together every week. We couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers! Interested in participating? Visit our volunteer page to learn how YOU can help.
