Wamsler Rock, a majestic outcropping of rock between the Rock Garden and the Native Plant Garden, is looking exceptional at the moment.

Morning Eye Candy: We’re A Fan

If you live on a block with a female ginkgo, you might not be a fan of this ancient tree. But if you see them only from afar (as opposed to smelling them up close) it’s hard to deny their autumnal beauty.

Morning Eye Candy: An Apt Name

This is one of those plants that we get questions about all the time, and for good reason. I mean, when was the last time you saw this color in nature?

It’s colder now. For the time being, the plants in the Perennial Garden don’t seem to notice much, spilling over the borders of their beds in cozy rebellion.

Morning Eye Candy: Unedited

I shot this on Tuesday, October 30th. As my shift ended early, I decided to take advantage of the daylight and photograph the continuing explosion of fall colors. The Forest is especially wonderful this time of year. Reds, yellows, oranges, and great shades of violet cover its 50 acres. According to the Garden’s fall foliage tracker, we are now about halfway to peak color. And it can only get better. I didn’t edit this photo in the least—mother nature provided excellent colors!
