Bloom Report #14

April 5, 2023
75F, Partly Sunny

Check these out:

• A Convergence of Colorful Clouds:  Cherries (Prunus species and cultivars) are  blooming pale pink and white throughout the Estate, both in the gardens and in the wooded areas. At the far end of the Sundial Garden, flowers of star magnolias (Magnolia stellata cultivars), saucer magnolias (Magnolia x soulangeana cultivars) and the magnificent Wada’s Memory magnolia (Magnolia ‘Wada’s Memory’) are underlined by the blooming garland spiraea (Spiraea x arguta) and Hally Jolivette cherry (Prunus ‘Hally Jolivette’). 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 x arguta & Spiraea prunifolium cultivars) and a carpet of pale blue starflower (Ipheion uniflorum).

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

• It’s a Brief Show:  The white flowers of bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) are blooming in many areas of the garden this week.  They are particularly abundant on the hill below the walkway at the lower edge of the Parking Area.  Their flowers last a very short time.

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

• Violets: Blue, blue & white, & yellow violets (Viola species) are blooming throughout the gardens and fields.
