How is the lilac doing? Is it blooming yet? Last year it was early and I missed it completely.

According to our curator of plants, the lilacs seem to be doing fine and are starting to bloom now.

Generally, April is tulip month here. But I just heard from our Curator of Plants that ‘Duc van Tol Max Cramoisi’ Tulip (Tulipa gesnerana introduced circa 1700) is up.

Gardeners are among the biggest supporters of all things Jefferson; pictures from the gardens never fail to elicit a lot of input on our Facebook page. The In Bloom database is a wonderful resource for anybody who loves Jefferson's love of plants, or if they just want to come visit (or just visited) and are wondering what's in bloom. It's a rich distillation of some amazing scholarship to boot.

Customers frequently come into the Museum Shop with questions about a specific flowering plant they saw on the Monticello grounds that they could not identify. The great majority of the time, we have a Garden Shop employee available who can quickly identify the plant based on the customer's description. On the rare occasions that we don't, this website comes in very handy. The content changes each month to reflect what is actually in bloom at the current time, and it is such a helpful resource that we have started printing out the information and posting it at each register.

Just a day or two after launching this project, I sat next to a woman on one of our shuttle buses and noticed she was holding a print out of In Bloom at Monticello. "I've never seen anything like it," she said when I asked her about it. It was one of my earliest projects as webmaster here and is still one of my favorites.

In bloom remains one of my all-time favorites. Whenever I see something in bloom around Monticello mountain that I don’t know the name of, I look it up in this database. I not only learn the botanical and common name for the plant, I learn something about its historical connection with Jefferson – I simply love it!
