What do frogs say when playing hide and seek? Ribbit? Boo? Tag?

After weeks of snow and ice, we’ve gotten a break in the weather, and the Garden’s first flowers are taking advantage of the warmth.

First up? Snowdrops, hellebores, and the rare herbaceous perennial Adonis amurensis. See them all here.

Okay, so not really a mutant butterfly. But here at The New York Botanical Garden, even the ”topiary” in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden are getting into the holiday spirit! So don’t forget to enjoy a little fresh winter air when you visit the amazing gingerbread houses at the Gingerbread Adventures.
