Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on March 11 2012, by Matt Newman
No, not the cherries you’re accustomed to. Cornelian cherries, rather. The Japanese cornel, brightly colored in its spot above the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, not only gives us these flirtatious blooms in early spring, but cheerful red fruits later in the year.

It’s here. The Orchid Show opens today! It’s like a birthday present that’s been sitting in front of you for a month: you know exactly what it is but you can’t actually enjoy it until the big day comes around.
