Morning Eye Candy: In the Rotunda

Posted in Photography on March 5 2015, by Matt Newman

You’ll often see the Orchid Rotunda of the Library Building listed on our maps and handouts at the Garden, but seldom does it see the spotlight on Plant Talk—until now, anyway! Pat Gonzalez happened by and decided to snap a photo of the glass enclosure for which the Rotunda is eponymously named. This column of living orchids displays some of the most dazzling varieties year after year.

Enid Haupt Conservatory Wild Medicine Photo ContestToday is the day—and we are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2015 Wild Medicine Photo Contest! From four weeks of stunning submissions, we have deliberated at length to arrive at two Grand Prize Winners, one for Macro and another for Sense of Place. These sharp-eyed shutterbugs have each just won a free seat in the NYBG Adult Education Photography class of their choice! Now they can enjoy seeing the Garden through their lens with other like-minded nature photographers, guided by one of the Garden’s expert instructors.

These shots highlight what makes the landmark Enid A. Haupt Conservatory such a magical place, and lately it is even more transcendent under The Orchid Show: Chandeliers. Plan your visit today and snap some photos of your own! In the meantime, click through to check out this year’s winning photographs.
