Sunny Day Blooms

The forecast calls for it to touch 70°F today (but sadly to drop back down to around 50°F for the weekend). This beautiful stretch of weather has brought out some of spring’s most beautiful flowers. From crocuses, to flowering apricots, and even the very first daffodils, flowers are springing into bloom all over the Garden. So if you can get away, come for a visit today! We’re just 20 minutes north of Grand Central direct to our own Botanical Garden Station on Metro North‘s Harlem Line!

Intrepid Garden photographer Mark Pfeffer climbed into a cherry picker and was hoisted 80 feet into the air to capture this shot. And what a shot it is!
