Do the kids visiting the NYBG love Thomas the Tank Engine™? That’s a little like asking if the moon guides the tides. Just imagine what it would be like if these parents didn’t have the blue locomotive to keep the little ones quiet for a few spare moments. Better yet, don’t–it’s traumatic to consider.

The Japanese apricot flowers out in our Home Gardening Center are seasonally deceptive with those warm colors, aren’t they? But don’t fret–not all is misleading. Our Caribbean Garden opens later this month!

I thought I would post something a little more appropriate to the season this morning, even if the season has been completely upside down, backwards, and inside out. And might I add that the conifers were particularly beautiful in the early twilight last night? Walking around and between the earth-broaching stone by the sleeping Azalea Garden–just before sunset–is a lesson in zen.
I recommend it.

The Johnny-come-lately freeze of winter matches up against a pristine summer sun, and suddenly everything seems at a tilt.
