My favorite iris is blooming in the Rock Garden. It is my favorite by leaps and bounds, by landslide mandate, by as many kind words and encouraging gestures as one could drum up in support of a simple flower. The bees are of like mind.

I like to think we’re slowly chipping away at this stubborn winter cold with the power of the sunniest yellows. Cocktails don’t hurt the effort, either. This Saturday, March 29, we’re launching into our next Orchid Evening with one of my own spirits of choice, Four Roses bourbon. Mixed with punchy citrus, honey syrup, and those all-important bitters, it’ll remind you that spring really is in swing. But tickets have been selling out, so don’t wait too long to snag yours. And if you’re looking to make a full night of it, hit up our Priceless NY champagne pre-party for a bit of bubbly in the Shop in the Garden.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say Tiffany’s might have taken some inspiration from the blue-green seafoam of one of our favorite species (and rightfully so). See it now in the aquatic plant house of the Conservatory—it won’t be swirling its colorful skirts forever.

The Viburnum is giving us a peek at future spring color in the Ladies’ Border, joining the crocuses, Adonis, and other early season go-getters as a reminder that the new season really has kicked off.
