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

The 'Phyllis Bide' Climbing Rose frames the door to the Sunken Garden with blooms.
Acanthus spires are making their annual appearance in the Garden. You may recognize the shape of their leaves from the top of a classic architectural element: the Corinthian column!
Returning this year are the Dahlias next to the Knot Garden! Check out the young blooms and the geometric pattern they create.
One of the most popular trees in the United States, Dogwoods thrive in the sun or shade. Their "blossoms" are actually petal-like bracts (modified leaves that surround the flowers).
An array of Mock Orange shrubs, including this 'Belle Etoile' variety, are in full bloom between the Dahlia Garden and Yew Allee. It is known for its fabulous fragrance!
The Perennial Border runs along the Laurel Cherry hedge and contains Smoke Bush, Roses, Purpletop Vervain, and more!
The 'Sally Holmes' Climbing Rose, which blooms continuously throughout the summer, makes this arbor in the Rose Garden a favorite photo spot.
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 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.
The 'Queen Elizabeth' Rose was a favorite of Mrs. Lurline Roth's. A full bed of this variety is planted in tribute to this previous lover of the Garden near the Roth Patio.
The 'Jackmanii' Clematis vine on the balustrade by the Sunken Garden is showing off with deep purple blooms.
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?
The delicate cupped blooms of the 'Scepter'd Isle' Rose bring fragrance to the Chartres Garden. The phrase "sceptered isle" from Shakespeare's play Richard II refers to the island of Britain, and this rose from famous English rose breeder David Austin epitomizes the classic English rose look.
The Knot Gardens are regularly replanted to ensure they thrive for years to come! In this stage of regrowth, the young English Lavender plants are already blossoming.
The spikes of eye-catching pink Watsonia flowers are hard to miss in the Cutting Garden, and are irresistible to hummingbirds too.
