May 3, 2022
71 F, Sunny

Check these out:

• Dove Tree:  Check the corner created by the back of the glass Soup Tureen corridor & the Library to see the fluttering white bracts of the rare Dove Tree, or Handkerchief Tree (Davidia involucrata var. vilmoriana) in bloom.

• Primroses:  The Quarry Garden is filled with a tapestry of red, pink, and white primroses (Primula species).

• Mayapples:  The ‘umbrella’ leaves of mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum) appear throughout the gardens and estate.  They are listed only here as they are ubiquitous. Look for plants with a ‘double umbrella’ to find the white flowers hidden beneath.

• Dogwoods and Doublefiles:  White or pink dogwoods (Cornus florida species & varieties) are in bud or in bloom throughout the Estate including the edge of Brown’s Woods.  They are mentioned only here.  The bright white of doublefile veburnums (Viburnum plicatum forma tomentosum) continue the show of white as listed below and throughout the Estate.

• Spring Beauties: The native spring beauties (Claytonia virginica) form a white carpet in the back meadow between Clenny Run and Clenny Run road, on the lawn sloping down to the Museum, along the walkway to Icewell Terrace, 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.
