Exuberant Blooms Exuberant Blooms Image Image Exuberant Blooms , our annual modern take on Victorian flower carpets, gets even HOTTER this summer with eight beds of bigger, bolder, brighter, and more beautiful flowers! Spread over more than a quarter acre of open garden, the large paisley-shaped floral “islands” contain more than 10,000 plants with heights ranging from 8 inches to 8 feet. To complement this year's pollinator theme, our horticulturists designed a plant palette that displays a wide range of flower shapes and colors, filled with annual and tropical plants showing off vibrant oranges, pinks, reds, and purple. And while there will be new and interesting foliage for visitors to admire (and hummingbirds and birds to enjoy!), we are also bringing back many of your plant favorites from last year.
