An early, early, early good morning to our west coast friends. Happy Saturday, everybody.

Each time I pass a canoe portage site along the river, I mentally frame the spot and consider how I was stepping off the D train not long before. It borders on surreal.

When the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory dome is smack in front of you and the Perennial Garden has your eye wandering, the Seasonal Walk can sometimes go overlooked. It’s a subtle spot, just off to your right if you happen to be facing the main doors of the Conservatory. It’s also one of my personal favorites. The display may not be as plush as that of other collections, but that quality only serves to make stand-out blooms entirely striking.

Happy Friday, everyone! In the spirit (no pun intended) of Halloween, have some jack o’ lantern orange to mark the first weekend of 2012’s Haunted Pumpkin Garden.

The city’s been a mash of gray skies and slick streets the past few days. Not that it’s dulled the sunnier blooms in our repertoire; even the honey bees are going about their business unfazed. So umbrella or no, you’ll find all things bright and blooming under the roof of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory as Monet’s Garden rounds out its final month at the NYBG.
