Happy St. Pat’s from every green flower we can muster here at the NYBG! It’s no four-leafed clover, but this Cymbidium has a lucky green hue down pat. Find more on our Instagram feed as we make our way through this year’s Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary, and if you’re headed out tonight, remember: moderation in all things!

The crocus is a real early bird, one of the first to bloom when winter is at its end. Paired with the snowdrops we have already seen, it’s a good sign.

Keep an eye out for Darwin’s famed star orchid when you visit Orchid Evenings this weekend. You might even be able to make out the feature that made this bloom such an evolutionary puzzle for decades on end.

Our second Orchid Evening of 2014 kicks off this Saturday night, March 15, and there are still some tickets left! Revelers this time around can look forward to “The Desert Rose,” a cocktail of Creme Yvette berry liqueur, tart lime juice, and—naturally—the spicy bite of mescal. Check out our Orchid Evenings event page for more info or to register. Don’t wait too long!

Never, ever feel guilty about your snowdrop favoritism. Who else earns their keep by predicting spring so handily?

Have no fear, the daffs are here! They’re still a bit sleepy as far as spring beauty goes, but it shouldn’t be long now.

We’re not actually in Montana. Though, for a moment, one might’ve been fooled.

Skip the bars, step into the jungle (not the one Axl Rose was so adamant about, mind you). Tonight, our Conservatory—with all its thousands of orchids—becomes home to cocktails, music, and not a single hint of winter’s chill. Grab tickets to tonight’s Orchid Evening before they’re gone.
