What's happening in the field?

At the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

Centennial Garden and Arboretum

April 28, 2009 by Marilyn Odneal

The dianthus ‘Bath’s Pink’, although somewhat weedy (yes I need to get out there), is blossoming now. It is one of the edging plants in the Centennial Garden. The catmint is also blooming around the roses there.

In the Arboretum, the lovely tulip tree – Liriodendron tuplipifera – is blooming right outside my window. I love the orange and green combination. Our dogwood is also blossoming – a little later than the seedlings in the woods. It is the cultivar Cherokee Princess with large white flowers. I saw the very first flower cluster open on the ninebark shrubs in the rain garden.

The redbuds are past blossom. We have a white redbud (hmmm) and it blossoms a bit later than the common one.
