Out and About in the Arboretum

The Camellia plant is covered in beautiful blossoms in all stages with many buds still emerging.

In addition to being renowned for its beauty, the azalea can be highly toxic (if consumed) as it contains andromedotoxin in both its leaves and nectar.

This Star Magnolia in Beaver Meadow is loaded with delicate white flowers but its blooms don’t last long so make sure you look for them soon.

The Japanese Cornel Dogwoods found around campus, like this one on Rushmore Lane, are eager to show off their early yellow blooms!

Despite common names like “Winter/Christmas Rose”, Hellebores are not closely related to the rose family.

Medford Leas has cultivated and planted countless bulbs that will continue to pop up and provide cheerful color to our campus.
