What's in Bloom at the Chicago Botanic Garden
May 5, 2012
The Garden is a place of ever-changing natural beauty, and no time of year is more changeable in the Garden than the first two weeks of May — especially when it looks more like June.
This is a good time to take a stroll though the woods as white trilliums fade to pink and are joined by wild geraniums, Jacob's ladder and red trilliums. Some extra colorful sights to check out include shooting stars in the Native Plant Garden, rhododendrons in the Landscape Garden, colorful beds of annuals and tulips in the Enabling and Sensory Garden; and a mix of primroses, camass lilies and white wall iris at the base of the Waterfall Garden. After you gawk at the construction at the entrance of the Fruit and Vegtable Garden, cross the bridge to see the pawpaw and medlar trees and newly planted spring vegetables mixed with violas and sweet alyssum. Around the shores of the Great Basin, see large swaths of snowdrop anemones and marsh spurge. Enjoy a delightful spring walk at the Chicago Botanic Garden!
