Afternoon Eye Candy: Fuzzy Cacti for Frosty Thursdays
Posted in Photography on February 13 2014, by Matt Newman
Seems I was so preoccupied with the thought of winter wonderlands last night that I forgot to schedule a Morning Eye Candy. A thousand apologies! Here’s a cozy-looking cactus to tide you over.

Morning Eye Candy: One Big Blanket
Posted in Photography on February 12 2014, by Matt Newman
This isn’t actually a ski course for moguls experts, though with so much Sochi on the brain it’s easy to see the comparison. Hard to believe, however, that the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden seen here will be thriving and packed with lively daily activities in just a short while. (No worries—it will!)
TPPC 2014: Week Three Winners!
Posted in Photography on February 11 2014, by Lansing Moore
It is hard to believe that the time has come to announce the third round of winners in our Tropical Paradise Photo Contest. We are halfway through this six-week competition, with the fourth week beginning this past Saturday. But there’s still time to win! Simply upload your photos of the Tropical Paradise exhibition in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory to our Flickr group before the 6 p.m. deadline this Friday, February 14—Valentine’s Day—to be entered into this week’s judging. After all, we don’t want this contest cutting into any romantic plans you may have. Though if you don’t have any plans yet, may we recommend one of our Valentine’s Day Dates at Tropical Paradise?
The submissions have been very impressive thus far, and it took careful deliberation to choose the top three photos in the Macro and Sense-of-Place categories. We sympathized with the judges at Sochi in carefully weighing the qualities of each contender. So in honor of the Winter Olympics, here are our Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medalists for this week!

Ferns are still the apple of my botanical eye, in case anyone was wondering if I’d changed allegiance in the last few months.

The sculptures of Four Seasons still overshadow the courtyard near the Nymphaea pools for a few more months. Some are fully enveloped in their element right now.

The trees in the Conservatory peek out over the ring of the Palm Dome as if to look at the conifers and say, “Haha!”
