Check these out:

• Daffodils Everywhere:  Daffodils (Narcissus species and cultivars) are blooming throughout the Estate in small clumps and huge expanses.  There are too many to count!

• Pearlbush:  The Latimer Gates are highlighted by the white flowers of Wilson’s pearlbush (Exochorda giralidd x wilsonii) while a smaller pearlbush cultivar (Exochorda macrantha ‘The Bride’) is blooming in the Pinetum and the Sundial Garden.

• Another Blue Wave:  Azalea Woods is filled with the delicate blue and white daisy-like Italian windflowers (Anemone apennina) and light blue Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica).   They spill down the March Bank and fill parts of Icewell Terrace and Enchanted Woods and decorate other areas in the gardens.

• Primroses:  The Quarry is showy with bright pink Japanese primroses (Primula sieboldii) and red candelabra primroses (Primula species), which are also blooming along the Glade path.  Pale yellow oxlip primroses (Primula elatior) are blooming in Azalea Woods and along the path to Icewell Terrace.

• A Colorful Show:  The Quince Walk is 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 cantoniensis & Spiraea prunifolium cultivars) and a carpet of pale blue starflower (Ipheion uniflorum).
