Today at the Arboretum – 4/27/22

Another cloudy, cool day, but the Arboretum’s grounds are coming alive with lots of color, texture and scents to delight the senses. The Tulips at the entrance to the Haggerty Education Center have changed from an all yellow display to a beautiful combination of yellow, orange and a few deep red flowers; there is a miniature Aquilegia flabellata cv. Nana (Dwarf Japanese Columbine) blooming in the rock garden and a Malus ‘Maypole’ (Columnar Maypole Apple) is in full bloom in the vegetable garden. Make sure to visit soon, you won’t be sorry!

Enjoy these fine pictures of spring in its glory at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum from frequent contributor, Steve Kanan.

A windy, chilly, cloudy day, but the Tulips have burst forth in a glorious display of sunny yellow flowers, what a welcome sight! Also, the Viburnum Carlesii (Koreanspice Viburnum) has begun blooming and releasing its wonderfully fragrant scent and several clumps of yellow Primula veris ssp. Columnae (Cowslip) are blooming in a bed behind the Haggerty Education Center.

Thanks to Steve Kanan for chronicling Spring’s advance at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum.

It was a perfect spring day, sunny, clear blue skies, fluffy white clouds, low 70 degrees. Lots of visitors enjoying the grounds, the blooming Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica, a lovely spring ephemeral), and the delicate flowers of several different varieties of Cherry trees: the semi-pyramidal pink blooming Prunus avium cv. Plena (double flowered Sweet Cherry), the lacy white blooming Prunus x yedoensis (Yoshino Cherry) and the light pink, frothy flowers of the Prunus cv. Accolade (Flowering Cherry). Visit soon!

One of our frequent contributors to the picture gallery, Steve Kanan, supplied ample evidence of a beautiful spring at the arboretum. Thanks as always for the great pictures, Steve.

As the saying goes, Spring has Sprung! The Daffodils, Hyacinths and other smaller bulbs are all blooming, the Tulip bulbs planted last fall are all up and it won’t be long before we’re treated to the beautiful display of flowers, cute Pansy faces are looking out from a variety of planters and the Cherry trees (Prunus subhirtella, Higan Cherry) are beginning to bloom. This is such a special and beautiful time of year; make time to visit soon!
