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

Look for Hydrangeas near the Woodland Garden gate. Did you know some hydrangea flowers can change color based on the amount of aluminum in the soil?
The Dahlia plot next to the Knot Garden includes many colorful varieties, including this 'Megan Dean'.
In the Walled Garden, cottage-style garden beds burst with a dense, colorful mix of flowers like Columbine and Pinks that attract pollinators.
The 'Fourth of July' Rose features fireworks-like stripes radiating from its center and loves full sun.
The magnificent Southern Magnolia on the front lawn was planted in 1948 by Lurline Roth. The evergreen tree is native to the southern U.S. and flowers in the summer.
Though considered a classic English garden plant, Hollyhocks originated in China. Spot these towering flower spikes in the Walled Garden.
You'll find many different colors of Salvia (aka Sage) throughout the Garden, including the cultivar 'Amistad' in the Walled Garden. Part of the mint family, their tubular flowers attract pollinators and their leaves have a strong fragrance.
Water Lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
Pink Rhododendrons are almost finished for the season in the shaded Woodland Garden. The name comes from the Greek rhodo for "rose" and dendron for "tree."
Spot these graceful Oakleaf Hydrangeas in the Chartres Garden. Named for its lobed, oak-like leaves, the plant features cone-shaped flower clusters that will fade from white to pink.
The Perennial Border outside the Vegetable Garden delights the eye with layers of pink and purple blooms like Speedwell, Verbena, and other flowers.
Carnations can still be found in the Cutting Garden cages. The Roth family had a long history of growing carnations there in support of Mr. Roth's habit of wearing a fresh flower in his lapel every day.
Corn sprouts in the Vegetable Garden! Look out for Pumpkins hiding in the Corn's shade.
Catch bees buzzing in the English lavender in the Knot Garden.
This native California species of Clarkia is commonly called Farewell-to-Spring because it is one of the last spring wildflowers to bloom.
This 'Buttercup' variety of English Ivy is on the Pear Allee wall overlooking the Rose Garden. Filoli is home to one of the world's largest collections of Ivy.
Venerable Dwarf Pomegranate trees along the edge of the Chartres Garden provide bright blooms to the delight of bees and Hummingbirds.
The Pear Tree Allee at the north end of the Rose Garden is home to a variety of fruiting trees, including this 'Moonglow' variety.
