WHITE IN THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUM'S GARDENS Although not actually a color, white in the garden can create a sense of alm, serenity and light, especially when paired with green foliage as a backdrop. White can brighten up a dark spot in the garden, give your eyes a rest and can be seen clearly in the evening, providing a crisp, cool, clean look. Here are just a few of the white flowers blooming at the Arboretum today: A bunch of white Siberian Irises, a white Bearded Iris and a Paeonia suffruticosa cv. Hatsugavasu (Tree Peony).
IN THE EGER FERN GARDEN - MAY 11, 2021 The Eger Fern Garden offers a small, quiet, peaceful oasis at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum. Today's visit provided the following images: Osmunda cinnamomea (Cinnamon Fern), Geranium maculatum (Wild Geranium), Trillium spp, Symplocos paniculata (Sapphire-Berry) and the unurling fiddlehead of a Dryopteris wallichiana (Wallich's Wood Fern). Thanks to Margery Ennist for these highlights of the ferns.

BLOOMING TODAY AT THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUM Today's visit was rewarded with so many plants in bloom that it was difficult to choose what to include in this week's blast, but here they are. A gorgeous Red Baron Flowering Crabapple between the driveway and the Haggerty Education Center, a lovely Redbud shrub in full bloom and a closeup of the flowers of Fothergilla gardenii ' Blue Mist'. Thanks to Margery Ennist for this week's beautiful pictures.

Photos from my visit today Photographer Katharine Boyle writes: Hi, there! I hope this note finds you, staff and loved ones keeping well. It's been four months since I've ventured to the arboretum and it was wonderful to be back visiting my "happy place" again. The wind made it tricky to capture the flowers, but it introduced some extra whispiness into the images. Here are some of my favorites from this afternoon. Thank you! Sincerely, Katharine Boyle
THE PARADE OF SPRING BLOOMS This week I am sharing a photo of a Praying Mantis egg case (ootheca), these beneficial insects can be very useful in your garden. I'm also sharing photos of Pasque Flowers, Spirea thunbergii 'Ogon', Chionodoxa (Glory of the Snow) and a flower bud on the Magnolia x Butterflies tree. Thanks, Margery Ennist, for this week's beautiful pictures from the Frelinghuysen.
