Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) surrounding Enchanted Woods

Check these out:

  • Trilliums:  Vast expanses of great white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) can be seen in parts of Azalea Woods, and individuals and colonies of them along with yellow trillium (Trillium luteum) and the dark red toadshade and wake-robin (Trillium sessile & Trillium erectum) can be found throughout the gardens.
  • Magnificent Entry:  The Wilson pearlbush (Exochorda giraldii x wilsonii) is creating a lovely white frame for the Latimeria Gate entrance to the Pinetum.
  • Sundial Garden and Quince Walk:  A flurry of flowers with the flowering quince (Chaenomeles cultivars) showing off in blazing red-orange, orange, red and cooler pale orange & white with a supporting cast of white spiraea (Spiraea x arguta & Spiraea prunifolium cultivars) and a carpet of pale blue starflower (Ipheion uniflorum).
  • An Ocean of Blue:  Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) are blooming throughout the gardens with great waves of them in parts of Azalea Woods, in the area of the koi ponds, in Enchanted Woods, on Oak Hill and the Quarry.  Italian windflowers (Anemone apennina) form a blue & white carpet extending throughout Azalea Woods, down the March Bank to the stream, & up the opposite bank into Icewell Terrace.  They accent other parts of the garden.
  • Spring Beauties: The native spring beauties (Claytonia virginica) form a white carpet on the lawn sloping down to the Museum and on parts of Oak Hill.  Their small, star-shaped white to pale pink flowers can be found throughout the Estate.
  • Violets: Blue, blue & white, & yellow violets (Viola species) are blooming throughout the gardens and fields.  They are mentioned only here.
