Bloom Report #22

June 1, 2022
83 F, Sunny

Check these out:

• Roses – hot & cool!: The roses on Sycamore Hill are in full bloom this week.  The bright reds of ‘Bess Lovett’ and ‘Radwin’ are bright beacons along the fence, and the pale colors of damask rose ‘Pink Leda’ (Rosa ‘Pink Leda’) and white Meidiland rose MEIvahyn) add to the serenity of the follies along with palest pink New Dawn rose (Rosa ‘New Dawn’) along the fence.

• White clouds:  The drifts of Kousa dogwood (Cornus kousa) blossoms hover above the white clouds of deutzias (Deutzia species, Deutzia scabra, Deutzia x magnifica) on Sycamore Hill, Oak Hill and in smaller displays throughout the Gardens.

• Lilies:  The martagon lilies (Lilium martagon) are starting to bloom in Azalea Woods, Enchanted Woods, and, more sparsely, in other areas of the garden.

• Primroses:  The candelabra primroses (Primula species) are still creating a colorful show of orange in full bloom and red, pink, and white in petal fall in the Quarry Garden.

• Escape the heat:  The glade from the March Walk to the Icewell Terrace walk is an ocean of green ferns that, together with the tree canopy, create a cool oasis.  Try it!

• Everywhere: But, listed only here:
  • The petal-dropping airy white umbels of viburnums (mostly Viburnum dilatatum – linden viburnum & some Viburnum dentatum – arrowwood viburnum) are found throughout the Gardens and Estate this week.
  • The yellow, green & orange flowers of tulip poplars (Liriodendron tulipifera) can be seen on the trees & also on the ground.  Look up or down to see them.
  • The tiny white-to-pale-pink daisies of fleabane (Erigeron annuus) are blooming throughout the Estate. 
  • The purple, lavender, and white flowers of Dame’s rocket (Hesperis matronalis) are present in lesser or greater abundance in the gardens and fields.
  • White clover (Trifolium repens) in the fields and lawns is providing nectar and pollen for the pollinators and nitrogen for the soil.

Bloom Report presented by: Pauline Myers

Bloom Report #20

May 18, 2022
70 F, Sunny

Check these out:

• Brightest Color – Primroses:  The candelabra primroses (Primula species) are brightening the path from the Koi Ponds in the Glade towards Magnolia Bend, the Winterhazel Walk, and creating a stunning tapestry of red, pink, orange, and white in the Quarry Garden.

• Everywhere: But, listed only here:
  • The tiny white-to-pale-pink daisies of fleabane (Erigeron annuus) are blooming throughout the Estate. 
  • The purple, lavender, and white flowers of Dame’s rocket (Hesperis matronalis) are present in lesser or greater abundance in the gardens and fields.
  • White clover (Trifolium repens) in the fields and lawns is providing nectar and pollen for the pollinators and nitrogen for the soil.
