Siam purple and more — The Colorado Water Garden Society’s annual sale will be held at Hudson Gardens, 6115 South Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, on June 4. Opens at 9 a.m. and members will have hardy water lilies, such as the Siam purple, plus tropical water lilies, cannas, assorted aquatic plants and staff, with photos of what the plants will look like when they mature. Free admission, free parking. When I visited in previous years, the sale was over before noon, so plan an early arrival. See the online calendar at hudsongardens.org.
