What's Blooming

Filoli StrokeLine
One of the unique fruits in the Gentleman's Orchard is Quince. When ripe, its skin is a bright yellow color, like this 'Aromatnaya' variety. Quince is inedible raw, but perfect for jams and preserves!
Visit the Gentleman's Orchard each weekend in October as part of our Orchard Days event! Explore the eclectic mix of fruit trees and relax in the shade of the Walnut Grove with snacks and live music.
The 100-year-old Dwarf Pomegranate shrubs are providing their seasonal color along the back of the House!
Towering spikes of pink Hollyhock are found among other bee-attracting plants in the buzzing Pollinator Beds in the Walled Garden.
Filoli mows the Gentleman's Orchard each fall except for patches of Narrowleaf Milkweed. It is a native plant vital to monarch butterflies as it is one of the plants their caterpillars eat.
This flower in the Walled Garden is known as Firecracker Plant due to its red tubular blooms. It can provide reliable color from summer through fall.
The Cutting Garden is still bursting with blooms, like these colorful Zinnias.
Many of the summer crops in the Vegetable Garden have already been harvested, but Tomatoes in all shades are still hanging heavy on their vines.
Bees buzz around the regal purple flowers of Salvia 'Amistad' in the Walled Garden. The large spikes of vibrant flowers continue into fall.
The velvety flowers of the 'Orange Queen Improved' variety of Celosia might catch your eye in the Cutting Garden cages. Their unique folded shape resembles a brain - or the comb of a rooster, hence the common name "Cockscomb."
In search of some shade? Wander under the Hawthorn trees in the Walled Garden and admire the glowing pink Begonia blooms.
