Sorry about the misleading title, but I could think of nothing but spring-colored peppermints when I saw these orchids waiting for their moment in the spotlight during The Orchid Show. See them for yourself beginning February 28.

It may not be a red rose, but a crimson bottlebrush will do just as nicely for Valentine’s Day at NYBG.

Wild Medicine Photo Contest Winners: Week 1
Posted in Photography on February 5 2015, by Lansing Moore
We’re thrilled to announce the winners of the first week of our Wild Medicine Photo Contest. This year’s contest is off to a promising start with some very beautiful submissions. You’ll certainly appreciate them as much as we did. Week 2 officially began on Saturday, January 31, so all photos taken inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory and uploaded to the NYBG Flickr Group Pool with the tag “#wildmedicine2015” before 6 p.m. tomorrow will be eligible for consideration in the next round. There is plenty of time to participate, as the contest lasts until February 20 while the Wild Medicine in the Tropics exhibition is on display in the Haupt Conservatory.
Weekly winners are selected in two categories, Macro (close-up) and Sense of Place (wideshot). Because this week’s submissions did not include enough Sense of Place photos, only one weekly winner was selected in this category. Otherwise, click through to to view the First Place and First and Second Runner-Up winners in the Macro category, as well as the First Place winner in the Sense of Place category.
