Come visit the flower research and demonstration area at the Department of Horticulture’s Bluegrass Lane Research facility, featuring more than 1,000 varieties of perennial and annual flowers — many new or just coming onto the market.

Everyone is welcome from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 25 and 26. Bluegrass Lane is located off Warren Rd. near the Robert Trent Jones golf course northeast of campus. (See map.)

Bloom day scans

Update [7/15/2009]: I always forget to mention that you should try scanning yourself. It’s easy. I have an activity for children and youth with instructions for how to scan flowers over at The Bulb Project website.

A little early this month. Thanks, as usual, to Carol at May Dreams for hosting.
