Next, let's take some time to appreciate what blooms this month has to offer!

Marigolds, like these in the Cutting Garden, are an important flower during Día de los Muertos. Their strong scent is said to lead souls back home from their burial places.
The first camellias of the season are opening, including the white Sasanqua Camellia 'Narumi-Gata' in the Walled Garden.
The Knot Gardens were recently replanted to ensure they thrive for years to come! In this stage of regrowth, the young English Lavender plants are already blossoming.
The Japanese Anemones in the Dutch Garden may look delicate, but these low-maintenance flowers are great for cutting and bloom through the fall.
The 100-year-old Dwarf Pomegranate shrubs are providing their seasonal color with their miniature fruits along the back of the House!
Throughout the month, the fan-shaped leaves of the Ginkgo trees will turn golden yellow, bringing gorgeous fall color to the Walled Garden.
The English Holly shrubs in the Walled Garden are getting in the holiday spirit with their bright red berries!
Wander through the Woodland Garden, where Flowering Dogwoods have created a yellow and orange canopy of falling leaves.
Spot the Begonias in the Walled Garden and in pots accenting the House terraces. Did you know that Begonias have separate male and female flowers that are borne on the same plant?
Fuzzy, tube-shaped orange flowers give the Lion's Ear (or Lion's Tail!) plant its name. Native to South Africa, it can be a striking feature in a water-wise garden.
Look out for the purple blooms of Sea Lavender, also known as Seafoam Statice, in the Sunken Garden. It's a favorite for dried flower arrangements due to its lasting color.
Chrysanthemums, aka “mums,” are the quintessential autumn flower. Several varieties and colors are currently holding court in the Cutting Garden.
Commonly known as Chilean Bellflower, Lapageria rosea blooms year round and is the national flower of Chile. Spot it by the staff gate on your left across from the Garden House before you enter the Walled Garden.
