WHAT'S IN BLOOM

Heading up our list of fragrant blooms has to be the Boomerang Lilac shrub (Syringa x 'Penda') blooming in our Mixed Border.  It is a low maintenance shrub with few insect and disease problems. It attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and people!  It also reblooms. Below are pictures of a few other plants of interest this week at the Arboretum.
