One of the first signs of fall at the Garden is the vibrant pink blooms of the floss silk tree, which appear just as many other flowers begin to fade. While fall may not be known for its blooms, it’s a fantastic time to enjoy the rich variety of colors and foliage that make our landscape so beautiful. Take a look at the photos below and listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog to discover what’s thriving in the Garden this week. Then, grab a ticket and come see the subtle signs of fall in person!
