It’s officially fall! But as the cool autumn air settles in, our plant diversity is still thriving. This week, guests can explore beautiful blooms in the Garden like the stunning split-leaf philodendron. These remarkable flowers only bloom once the plant reaches full maturity, typically around 16 to 18 years. Discover more about these plants in Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below. Then, grab a sweater and come see the blooms in person!
