Visit the Chicago Botanic Garden, where summer's abundance is evident everywhere you turn. See theVictoria waterlily in the Heritage Garden. It blooms for two nights only and turns from female to male. This week, plants in bloom include Meidomonac Bonica shrub rose, Mystic Spires Blue salvia, rose turtlehead, and Deam's coneflower.
Last chance to see Butterflies & Blooms! The Butterfly Exhibition will be open through September 3.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Garden! Today, 2.5 million plants, 25 display gardens, and four natural areas thrive here. Visit our anniversary website to view Garden milestones since the 1972 opening. While you're there, be sure to add your own memories!
