What's in Bloom

What's in Bloom at the Chicago Botanic Garden

November 2009

Golden yellow larches, russet brown baldcypress and graceful weeping willows are still coloring the vistas of the Japanese Islands and reflecting in the lakes. Many trees and shrubs, such as crabapples, hawthorns, viburnums, winterberry and beautyberry, are adorned with vivid berries, which will remain to provide a feast for the birds. The red twigs of redosier dogwood, the yellow branches on willows and the grass green twigs of Japanese kerria will provide colorful accents throughout the winter. Ornamental grasses have matured, and you can hear them rustling in the autumn breezes. Enjoy the crisp days of autumn at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
