What's blooming at the East Texas Arboretum?

Teresa Glasglow, Executive Director of the East Texas Arboretum & Botanical Society, included a bloom report in her recent newsletter. Here's what Teresa had to say about what's blooming at the Arboretum:

"The warmer weather has given the East Texas Arboretum a chance to plant a little earlier than usual. Poppies are starting to bloom now; and remember they do not last long. The largest concentration of poppies this year are in the Master Gardener's Dream Garden area behind the Wofford House. Larkspur are full of buds and will be showing off color anytime now. We let these beautiful flowers just pop up where they want every year.

While you're strolling through the gardens this year, check out one the Arboretum's new finds; the orange esperanza. Some of the other plants in bloom are Azaleas, Moss Rose, Gerber Daisy's, Pansies, Violias, Roses, and the list grows each day.

Early last summer, the Arboretum dedicated the new "Garden in the Forest". This new trail area is 1/3 of a mile long and is paved with small areas of landscaping. Perfect for parents with smaller children and strollers. The entrance is located at the far east side of the parking lot."
