What's in bloom

Following the blooming of thousands of spring bulbs, spring is a season of blossom in The Garden - from the delicate crab apple petals in the Ornamental Garden to the graceful white Tai Haku blossom in the Cherry Orchard, followed by the rich pink of the Orchard's 'Mistress' tulips.

The crab apple blossom in the Ornamental Garden is looking particularly beautiful at the moment, with corridors of blossom being created in the geometric pathways and a delicate lacework forming on the pleached trees overhead. There are flowerbeds full of elegant tulips, both white and black, which sway gently in the breeze.

Tulips are also bursting into life in the Cherry Orchard - with 600,000 pink 'Mistress' tulips creating a stunning carpet of pink beneath the pure white cherry blossom of over 300 Tai Haku trees.

The leaves of the hornbeam on the striking domed walkways on either side of the Grand Cascade are also beginning to unfurl, creating secluded green walkways with little windows which frame various views of the Cascade's magnificent water displays.

Don't forget to admire the stunning display of blooms at the de Jager Tulip festival display in The Garden's atrium until 8th May.
