Friend of the Garden Joel Kroin usually turns his pinhole camera on the Garden’s stark winter landscapes. But even he isn’t immune to the siren call of the tropical Conservatory, as evidenced by this beautiful shot.

Morning Eye Candy: Cabernet, Complementary

They may not put on a show of the usual “spring spectrum”–pinks, bright yellows, all the pastels of new growth. Honestly, they’re a little menacing with their velvety, claret petals. But the flagrant elegance of these hellebores comes in handy when the bright green varieties need balancing out.

Morning Eye Candy: Summer Whites

While you may remain unconvinced that it is in fact spring, we’re already thinking about summer and dressing the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory in her seasonal coat of whitewash. Because, even though the temperatures may not yet be sweltering, the sun’s radiative properties are noticeably stronger already!

Morning Eye Candy: The First Spring Day

Posted in Photography on April 4 2013, by Ann Rafalko

I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing, robin sing;
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring.

The First Spring Day ~ Christina Rossetti
