There’s really nothing “pseudo” about the bombastic beauty that is Pseudobombax, now hanging out in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory.

Friday morning, Tulip Tree Allée. Through the window of a photograph, the bare trees look like giant cephalopods. Manolo’s sculptures take on their own strange life.

Darwin’s star orchid is a rare treat for visitors to this year’s Orchid Show. Like the vanilla orchid, it’s seldom we get to flaunt this beauty in full bloom.

It’s not just wishful thinking anymore. With any luck, we’ll be coasting into spring proper on a spate of sunny days. And if you’re looking for snowdrops, the lawn alongside Tulip Tree Allée is a must-see. Otherwise, take a peek into the Perennial Garden!

This is not to be missed if you’ve got kids tagging along! While The Orchid Show is already running strong in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, there are plenty of other activities tied into it that take place elsewhere in the NYBG. Not only lectures in Ross Hall, or orchid care demonstrations in the Shop in the Garden, but kid-friendly events in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden–that includes Little Landscapes.
Terrariums are so much more than a Tumblr fad. They’re self-contained worlds that are not only educational, but relaxing and enjoying to put together. So bring your kids for The Orchid Show and make a point of stopping off in our Adventure Garden through April 22, where they’ll have a chance to play architect with a miniature world of their own.

The Orchid Show may be hogging the spotlight for the foreseeable future (and with good reason), but there are further aspects of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory worth exploring. The desert houses? Definitely.
