Nope, it’s not dinosaur skin. It’s a leaf from one of the huge, gorgeous Hydrangea quercifolia in the amazing four-season Perennial Garden.

Okay, so not really a mutant butterfly. But here at The New York Botanical Garden, even the ”topiary” in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden are getting into the holiday spirit! So don’t forget to enjoy a little fresh winter air when you visit the amazing gingerbread houses at the Gingerbread Adventures.

Ginkgoes get a bad rap. Sure, they can be a bit smelly from time to time, but their beauty in autumn should make up for that, shouldn’t it?

It’s easy to get hung up on planting a garden for food. Or for color. Or for fragrance. Does anyone ever think about planting for rhythm?
