Morning Eye Candy: Rising to the Occasion

Seeing the snowdrops pull themselves up by their bootstraps over the last month was a strange sight, if only because they’re not scheduled to arrive until the first moments of spring. But while their seasonal confusion was a little disconcerting, to see these coy troopers toughing out the worsening cold still proved a pleasant inspiration.

We wish you each an unequivocally successful year in 2013, and may you find your own bootstraps in the face of whatever 2012 had to throw at you.

Apparently it’s not just visitors, flowers, and staff that were made happy by this week’s warm snap. This bee looks pretty happy (if such a thing may be said), too. See what else is beautiful at the Garden now.
