Boyce Tankersley, Director of Plant Documentation, tells us about some of the flowers we saw blooming on the first meteorological day of summer at the Chicago Botanic Garden. We saw echium in the Heritage Garden, a very rare jade vine in the Tropical Greenhouse, allium in the West Flower Walk and poppies in the English Oak Meadow. Come see us soon or visit http://www.chicagobotanic.org/inbloom for updates on what’s in bloom. |

Each spring visitors look forward to hundreds of crabapples blooming in the Gardens of the Great Basin and throughout many other display gardens. Don’t miss this magical time of year and the chance to be surrounded in so many beautiful blossoms. Visit http://www.chicagobotanic.org/walk/crabapple.php for more information on the crabapples at the Chicago Botanic Garden. |

Come see the crocuses in bloom throughout many of the Chicago Botanic Garden’s 24 display gardens. The crocuses in the lawn on Evening Island are particularly spectacular right now. |
