Order and chaos, fall and summer. Maybe the contrasts sound a bit overwrought, but they sure can be pretty.

We didn’t have a chance to show you the turnout for these Nicotiana x sanderae during Sonia Uyterhoeven’s “Season in Review,” but they’re too rich and gorgeous to ignore.

The Holiday Train Show is in full swing under the glass of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, and we’ve even got a few new faces in this year’s display! Can anyone recognize this long-gone New York original? (I’ll give you a hint: back when the Dodgers baseball club was still a part of NYC, it took its name in honor of these rail regulars.)
