Morning Eye Candy: Travel Back in Time

It may be gone, but it’s not forgotten, and you can still “visit” the old Penn Station in miniature at the Holiday Train Show.

You could be forgiven for thinking that the Azalea Garden is beautiful only in spring, but you would be wrong.

Morning Eye Candy: Float On

Posted in Photography on November 18 2013, by Ann Rafalko

We offer just a few chances a year to paddle down the Bronx River during our Fall Forest Weekends (sadly now in the past). But our friends at the Bronx River Alliance offer the opportunity on a more frequent basis.

Morning Eye Candy: Flaming Jade

Posted in Photography on November 17 2013, by Ann Rafalko

When you visit the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory for the Holiday Train Show, be sure to detour through the other houses in search of this stunning vine, Mucuna benettii. Also known as the Red Jade Vine or Flame of the Forest, it is a member of the legume family, and along with its blue-green cousin Strongylodon macrobotrys a distant relative of the more familiar wisteria. To see Strongylodon in full bloom, come and visit us again in March and April for the Orchid Show. She’ll be putting on a show to rival the orchids by then!
