As I have approached the end of the year that I originally planned to cover in this photo galley of Arboretum blooming plants, I have felt more and more that I needed to continue it. It took me several months to begin really knowing all the back corners and out of the way places in the Arboretum, so I'm sure I missed things during that time. I have also become aware that there are hundreds of flowering plants, mostly trees, that I have yet to see in bloom, so it will be fun to keep looking for them. The new Garden for All Seasons will undoubtedly bring new things, as will the Madagas- car Garden which only got under way a few months ago. The Arboretum is not a static place, so who knows what surprises are in store for us. Each month's section will be smaller with fewer things represented, but I will endeavor to include only new species that have not made it in before. Some careful perusers of this site may notice a few things that are not strictly speaking bloomers, and they would not be remiss in questioing their inclusion. I have been only too aware that there are many things at the Arboretum that simply do not produce flowers as such, and my frustration at having to overlook them has caused me to occasionally display something that I have just been intrigued by or interested in, but hey, it's my website. So I will occasionally be displaying pictures of fruiting species in the hopes that eventually I will get them in bloom.
