Happy June! The year seems to just be flying by. Yesterday it seemed like we were wishing for warmer weather, and now that it's here, we're missing winter. Things are just getting started though. The lilacs just finished blooming and now the roses are doing their thing.

Rosa woodsii (Woods' Rose)

This Utah native rose blooms earlier than traditional roses and provides nectar for a variety of pollinators.

Monarda bradburiana (Eastern Beebalm)

This bee magnet can be found complimenting the roses surrounding the entrance to the Ring Garden.

Veronica 'Reavis' (Crystal River® Speedwell)

This beautiful ground cover could make a great complimentary plant to any rose planting.

Globularia cordifolia (Heartleaf Globedaisy)

These tiny purple jewels are great for pollinators.

Rosa foetida 'Bicolor' (Austrian Copper Rose)

Gracing the entrance to the Water Conservation Garden, this low-water rose blooms in a profusion of red, orange, and yellow flowers before most other roses open.

Like a flower expending energy to bloom, coming out is a courageous and vulnerable journey of self-discovery, allowing an individual to live authentically and vibrantly. June is Pride month and we encourage you to support your LGBTQ+ family and friends by joining us for Blooming with Pride on June 13 at the Garden.
