Out and About in the Arboretum

Just in time for Halloween, the Hosta ‘Blue Cadet’ gives us vibrant orange leaves as it becomes dormant for the season.

This viburnum looks especially lovely this time of year. The rich red of the berries only continues to deepen further into the fall season.

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.
