Spot the noisy customer chatting away in the Perennial Garden. You won’t win a prize, sadly, but you’ll at least know who’s chirping tiny harrumphs at your intrusion when you visit.

I’ve kept up with this dahlia over the last while. It stands by its lonesome in the Perennial Garden, presiding like a lighthouse beacon over the flowers and foliage growing underneath. I’m a fan of its flamboyance.

It’s July 5 and the fireworks are done with. Hopefully your eyes have readjusted to things that aren’t bursting into rainbow-colored sparks, and all those hot dogs will work themselves off in the course of the day. Anyway, I figured you could use some daylilies—because who doesn’t want more things that go ‘boom,’ figuratively speaking?

Francis Scott Key may never have penned “the rockets’ pink glare,” but if he had, he’d be covered on the imagery front. Happy Independence Day, everyone! The NYBG is open today, so don’t hesitate to join us for your pre-fireworks adventures.
