These colorful buds are commonly known as sneezeweed, but don’t worry! They won’t be especially rough on your allergies. The name comes from this plant’s former use in manufacturing snuff powder.

Okay, they’re not actually tulips per se, but the tulip trees along the Allee are far more than sentinels guarding the path to the Library Building. If you can see that high, you’ll notice the blooms from which they pulled their name, flowering now as we head into summer.

Cutting back the Native Plant Garden’s meadow a few months ago left many wondering how quickly it would spring up again. The answer wasted no time getting here, and just in time for today’s summer solstice.

The mullein (Verbascum) in our “Mrs. Rockefeller’s Garden” display is getting pleasantly overzealous in its efforts to outdazzle the rest of the planting.
