This fall is shaping up to be a season of misty mornings and sun-dappled, warm afternoons, making it the perfect time to enjoy the Garden in all its autumn glory. One of the standout blooms this week is the stunning floss silk tree, known for its vibrant pink flowers that brighten up the landscape. While its blooms steal the spotlight, the tree itself is also featured on our popular Bark Walk—a self-guided tour during Dogtoberfest that highlights some of the Garden’s most unique trees with fascinating bark textures and patterns. Make sure to listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog while scrolling through the pictures below to learn about what’s blooming this week. Then, grab your walking shoes and experience these beauties in person!
