Ferns are still the apple of my botanical eye, in case anyone was wondering if I’d changed allegiance in the last few months.

The sculptures of Four Seasons still overshadow the courtyard near the Nymphaea pools for a few more months. Some are fully enveloped in their element right now.

The trees in the Conservatory peek out over the ring of the Palm Dome as if to look at the conifers and say, “Haha!”

Who’d have thought you could call the Bronx River, of all wandering bodies of water, a mystic thing? And yet here is winter.

The tallies are in for week two of the Tropical Paradise Photo Contest! With so many great photographs in the submission queue this time around, it was like pulling teeth trying to find a consensus on the winners, but we rallied and came to some good conclusions.
We’re now into week three of the contest as far as submission windows go, and the number of people contributing is still climbing—which we love. Frankly, the more the merrier. The judges and I thrive on a good challenge. But while we’re on the topic, I must remind all newcomers to our contest that the only way to ensure we see your entries is to tag each photo with “#tropicalparadise” when you upload it to our Flickr group. No variations on that, please! Even if we do happen to see a photo with “Tropical Paradise” in the title, we can’t be sure that you intended to submit it officially, and you know what they say about assumptions.
Otherwise, everything has been going swimmingly (aside from our weekly winner announcements, which are a day late as per usual). Keep the photos coming! And without further ado, here are your winners for week two of TPPC 2014.

The Home Gardening Center is in no way a dormant contributor in the midst of winter. What color there is pops all the more.

Less than a month now ’til The Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary sashays its way into the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. I can certainly count the ways that I love this exhibition, but counting the days might be a better pastime.
