\"Paeonia-'Salmon-Dream'\"<\/a>Herbaceous peonies are in full bloom right now! The Matelich Anniversary Peony Collection<\/a>, one of several\u00a0new collections inaugurated this year in honor\u00a0of NYBG’s 125th Anniversary<\/a>, is\u00a0bearing\u00a0massive flowers that are wonderfully fragrant and colorful. The new peony collection is a must-see and is conveniently located just across from the Perennial Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beautiful\u00a0throughout the year, the Perennial Garden<\/a>\u00a0is especially colorful this month as the perennials fully stretch out for the season. There is always something eye-catching blooming in this garden, with more on deck when they finish.\u00a0The Native Plant Garden<\/a> has many blooming perennials of its own, with Sarracenia<\/em> species in the wetland, and native rhododendrons and azaleas coming into flower as well, all amid sweeps of a variety of lovely ferns.<\/p>\n

The Rock Garden<\/a> is awash in color, and the display can change daily and even hourly on a sunny day. Take a stroll through this secluded, historic collection, and enjoy the peaceful babble of the restored cascade.\u00a0Visitors this weekend enjoy a unique\u00a0glimpse into NYBG’s ongoing plant science and conservation endeavors during our Science Open House<\/a>.<\/p>\n
