Witch-Hazel isn’t just cheery in the winter, it’s also a welcome addition to the chorus of colors early spring brings.

The forecast calls for it to touch 70°F today (but sadly to drop back down to around 50°F for the weekend). This beautiful stretch of weather has brought out some of spring’s most beautiful flowers. From crocuses, to flowering apricots, and even the very first daffodils, flowers are springing into bloom all over the Garden. So if you can get away, come for a visit today! We’re just 20 minutes north of Grand Central direct to our own Botanical Garden Station on Metro North‘s Harlem Line!

More early-spring blooms below.

Intrepid Garden photographer Mark Pfeffer climbed into a cherry picker and was hoisted 80 feet into the air to capture this shot. And what a shot it is!

Tweet Tweet: The Orchid Show As Seen by You

Posted in Members, Photography, The Orchid Show on March 17 2011, by Plant Talk

Almost better than seeing a packed house full of smiling faces at The Orchid Show: On Broadway is seeing The Orchid Show through your–the visitors’–eyes. That’s one of the amazing things about Twitter, you can instantly show us what you love about The Orchid Show!

So we thought we would show-off some of the beautiful photos that you have been taking inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Want to be sure we see your shots in the future? It’s simple: Just tag your photo with our Twitter username @nybg. If we get enough shots, we’ll do another twitpic roundup in a week or two.

Is it just us, or does this orchid bear a striking resemblence to the lead singer of an iconic British rock band?

Lots of people bring their cameras to The Orchid Show: On Broadway, but very few bring an instant film camera.

But that’s just what longtime Garden member, blogger, and photographer Cindy Quaint did this past weekend. We loved her photos so much that we asked her if we could share them with you, and Cindy kindly obliged.
