I figured everyone could use more cozy imagery for a decidedly uncozy weekend. Don’t let the weather get you down, folks.

A balm for the snowbound and ice-ridden. Hope everyone is staying warm and safe this weekend!

The jade vine is in bloom, at long last. You probably see us referring to this seafoam green siren at least a few times a year, and with good reason–it sports unmatched color and form. Few plants boast the kind of spontaneous annual following that this one’s earned. Look for it in the Conservatory!

The weekend forecast promises prodigious snow for much of the northeast, so get outside and enjoy the fluff-free skies while you can! The squirrels, meanwhile, can only be looking forward to the wintry playground to come.

Tiny tropical treats flourish in the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections, primped and preened as they wait for their moment to take over the Conservatory.

“Hello? Yes, hi! I can’t help but notice that you’re not food. So, yeeeeeeah, you’re gonna have to relocate. I can appreciate that you’re a photographer–it’s a very nice camera–but if you’re not edible, we’re not interested. Thanks for your understanding.”

I love foggy days at the Garden. Such strange depth between the trees, and everything seems more significant, somehow. You can walk in the Forest and feel as though you’re not going anywhere, or lose the tops of the tulip trees.
