Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden Close, but Not Quite Yet

Monday, May 27, 7:30 am---

The peony garden is getting ready but the buds are on hold, with a few blooming at the back of the garden. Cooler weekend weather to blame, likely. Azaleas and rhododendrons on the Julie Norris Post Collection on Laurel Ridge Trail are worth a trip today, for sure.





Near the back of the garden away from Washington Hts.

Close!

The yellow ones smell like gardenias, we swear.

  1. The yellow azaleas smell more like lilies; practically a doppelganger. Myrcene, (E)-β-ocimene, linalool, methyl benzoate, and ethyl benzoate and/or 1,8-cineole are likely culprits.
