Out and About in the Arboretum

One of the most attractive mushrooms is called Amanita muscaria, Fly Agaric, or the Death Cap. It is poisonous.

It looks like this beautiful Rosarium lottum flower didn’t get the ‘no white after Labor Day’ memo.

Even with dreary weather and hints of fall on the horizon, the bees are still buzzing! When you are out and about in the Arboretum, take a moment to watch these fascinating creatures do their thing.

Even though it is just mid-August, the Japanese Cutleaf Maple, Acer palmatum ‘Coral Bark,’ is just beginning to move towards its golden yellow leaves as the fall season approaches.

The Atrium on the Medford Campus is a happy collection of color right now! The star of the show is the Crepe Myrtle with its magenta blooms.

Especially during these very warm days, it’s a great time to explore our Arboretum Website at www.bartonarboretum.org.
