Seasonal Walk

Morning Eye Candy: Ruffed

If you were wondering—yes, my dahlia fixation is still riding high, and probably will be for the remainder of the summer. Not that many of you can blame me. There’s just something about their frilly, cheering colors—like a fanciful take on the Elizabethan neck ruff. Happy Friday, all.

Morning Eye Candy: Not-So-Secret Garden

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on October 11 2012, by Matt Newman

When the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory dome is smack in front of you and the Perennial Garden has your eye wandering, the Seasonal Walk can sometimes go overlooked. It’s a subtle spot, just off to your right if you happen to be facing the main doors of the Conservatory. It’s also one of my personal favorites. The display may not be as plush as that of other collections, but that quality only serves to make stand-out blooms entirely striking.
