'Tis the season for neotropical blueberry flowers

'Tis the season for neotropical blueberry flowers in the Haupt Conservatory.

While they may not look it, these plants in the Ericaceae family—native to South America—are cousins of the ones that produce everyone's favorite big blue berries found at the supermarket. Many of these neotropical varieties can be toxic, however, so the fruit they produce is for admiring and not eating!

Scout these out in the Upland Rain Forest Gallery of the Conservatory (they're hard to miss).

The warmth of the Haupt Conservatory is the perfect way to escape the cold for this long weekend. 🚂🌿

Get out of the chill and into a tropical wonderland of model trains and miniature wonders as the Holiday Train Show continues through January 23! We're open for the long weekend with three days of fun for any age, whether you're exploring our fan-favorite winter exhibition among the tropical greenery of our landmark Conservatory, taking the kids for adventures and activities with Evergreen Express, or staying for the after-dark excitement of NYBG GLOW with its live music, ice carving, and hot treats from the Bronx Night Market.
