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.
