There are flowers everywhere in the Garden right now! The flowers featured in this week’s blog are only a fraction of the flowers we have in bloom. Before exploring the rest of the Garden, make sure to stop by the Koi Pond and Palm Circle. The Japanese water iris located on the pond’s edge is at the end of its bloom so we highly suggest seeing this flower before it’s gone for the year. Palm Circle has a new addition that is out of this world. The ‘Night Sky’ petunias are dark purple with white dots and look just as their name suggests, a sky full of stars. Listen to the rest of Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below to learn more about what’s blooming in the Garden this week. Then invite a friend for a day out in nature and try to find what’s blooming in person.
