Morning Eye Candy: Getting Warmer

No ice? No foul! We’re still not seeing the kind of “warmth” New Yorkers hope to enjoy by late March, but it’s all about small steps.

Morning Eye Candy: Under Flighty Sun

“In the spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.”
— Mark Twain
Snow, sleet, or flighty sun, the plum blossoms seem to be taking spring’s early days in stride. The rest of the Garden, likewise, follows suit. I hope your Friday is as bright.

Morning Eye Candy: Here’s Lookin’ at You

Philip Haas has a knack. One that brings forests and gardens to life in ways you probably weren’t expecting. And, this coming May, he’s bringing his deft touch to The New York Botanical Garden. Keep an eye out for the inspiration of Arcimboldo in the Conservatory Courtyard, or, if you’d like a preview, hoof it up to the Library Rotunda. Trust me: you’ll never look at a fruit bowl the same way.

We’re all for simplicity this morning. It’s a very ikebana vibe.

Will it snow today? Won’t it? Think warm thoughts, think warm thoughts…

Decided to go askew with my choice of green today, ’cause why not? The Garden is open on this fine St. Patrick’s Day, as is The Orchid Show. Feel free to stop by! And to all our evening revelers, may your Guinness pours be perfect and your trips home safe.

Morning Eye Candy: Fully Stocked

With Marc Hachadourian heading up a course on dividing and repotting orchids this morning, I thought I’d show you some of his handiwork. He’s responsible for keeping our exhibitions green and thriving, and as the Manager of the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections, that’s something he has no trouble with–the Orchid Show being no exception.

The snowdrops have landed. The crocuses are massing. Hellebores? Check! We’re seeing the subtle signs of spring’s arrival right on our doorstep and throughout our 250 acres, and it’s only going to pick up the pace from here.
