Water lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
One of the most popular trees in the United States, dogwoods thrive in the sun or shade - which makes them perfect for the Woodland Garden in the shadow of the native oaks.
Explore the colorful blooms along the historic iris border at the edge of the Garden Orchard. The name "iris" comes from the Greek word for rainbow.
The purple blooms of the double-flowered wisteria over the Clock Tower Shop door are showstoppers!
The Lady Banks rose cascades down walls in the Clock Tower Shop courtyard. This thornless variety is the first rose to bloom at Filoli each year.

Growing from bulbs, Spanish bluebells create a blue-violet carpet of bell-shaped flowers.
The perennial border runs along the cherry laurel hedge and contains sages, smoke bush, roses, purple top vervain, and more!
The yellow-blooming flannel bush next to the Nature Center is the size of a tree! It is currently abuzz with bee and fly pollinators.
Propagated from seed in Filoli's Greenhouses, purple and blue violas are now adding color to spring beds.
Pretty potted pansies add a cheerful touch throughout the Garden.
Some of the tree peonies now blooming in the Cutting Garden were donated to Filoli by renowned nursery-owner Toichi Domoto.

Seed pods on the Camperdown elm are showing off their beautiful chartreuse color.
The foxgloves blooming around the Sunken Garden attract bees with their tubular flowers.
