Nope, it’s not dinosaur skin. It’s a leaf from one of the huge, gorgeous Hydrangea quercifolia in the amazing four-season Perennial Garden.

Fallen from a galaxy

Ginkgoes get a bad rap. Sure, they can be a bit smelly from time to time, but their beauty in autumn should make up for that, shouldn’t it?

Sometimes we find inspiration in a puddle, or in a blade of grass, or in a single tree. And sometimes, we look up.

The holidays are photogenic: all those sparkling lights and (glögg-induced) rosy faces! It’s a time that screams for grampa to pull out his old film camera, for auntie to stick a Flip in your face, and for mom to beg the entire family to pose in those special reindeer sweaters she managed to find in everyone’s size. But not every holiday photo need be awkward.
Here at The New York Botanical Garden we’ve got photo ops aplenty, and they’re all beautiful! But there’s no need to take our word for it. Just ask any of the 250 members of The New York Botanical Garden group pool on Flickr. Or, better yet, take a look at some of the beautiful photographs that our visitors have posted on their own! And then, if you like what you see, you can join the group (by signing up for Flickr) and begin uploading your own shots from around the Garden.
