Catch bees buzzing in the English lavender in the Knot Garden, which features the deep blue ‘Hidcote’ cultivar.
The spikes of eye-catching pink Watsonia flowers are hard to miss in the Cutting Garden, and are irresistible to hummingbirds too.
One of the most popular trees in the United States, dogwoods thrive in the sun or shade. These grand Kousa dogwoods are blooming next to the Pool Pavilion.
California poppies and other native wildflowers are flowering among the succulents in the water-wise Sunken Garden.
The Rose Garden is in full bloom! Wander through and pick your favorite scent - or favorite flower name. Can you spot the 'Betty White' rose, or the 'Fourth of July' rose?
Water lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
The 'Sally Holmes' climbing rose, which blooms continuously throughout the summer, makes this arbor in the Rose Garden a favorite photo spot.
The perennial border runs along the laurel cherry hedge and contains lavender, smoke bush, roses, purple top vervain, and more!
The yellow 'Full Moon Rising' rose that climbs along the side of the Cutting Garden Cage was chosen for Filoli due to its disease resistance and fragrance.
Violas, calendulas, and herbs are among the many rows of color in the Kitchen Garden.
The Clematis 'Jackmanii' vine on the balustrade by the Sunken Garden is showing off with deep purple blooms.
A rainbow of flowers in the Cutting Garden are attracting many pollinators this time of the year. The sight of bees wearing socks of yellow pollen is quite common!
The 'Queen Elizabeth' rose was a favorite of Mrs. Roth's. Some of her plantings from the mid-1950s are still thriving in the Rose Garden and can be spotted near the Roth Patio.
Calceolaria integrifolia, the pocketbook plant, is native to Argentina and Chile and has made quite a home for itself along the terrace behind the house.
