It’s been a few weeks since we announced a Photo Contest as part of Caribbean Garden, a reinterpretation of the permanent collection inside the historic Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. We’ve hit a few bumps along the way logistically, but that hasn’t effected the quality of the photos that you have entered! There are several weeks left in the contest, and another winter storm has barreled into the city to welcome February, so come enjoy the warmth of the Conservatory and snap a few pictures while you’re here!
To get you excited about participating, here are a few of the winners from the previous weeks’ contests.
Head below the jump to see the winners from the past two weeks of the contest!

The snow gathering on this Magnolia kobus near the Visitor Center makes it look like something out of a fantastic dream.

No, we’re not bioengineering treat-dispensing shrubbery. It’s just snowing a lot this winter, coating everything in what, on some days, looks like a thick layer of Marshmallow Fluff.

It just keeps snowing here at the Garden. And it just keeps getting prettier, too.

Four-season gardening can be as simple as ensuring your garden has something that will provide winter interest, like this wonderful hedge, Euonymus alatus ‘Compactus’ (commonly known as Dwarf Winged Euonymus or Dwarf Burning Bush) in the Seasonal Border.

Squirrels. They have so much attitude. Where does it come from?

”The time has come,” the Walrus said,
”To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”
