What’s in bloom now at NYBG? Oh so much! The cherry blossoms are beginning, but for the moment they are eclipsed by the wonderful (and fragrant!) magnolias. Daffodils are popping up all over, Siberian squills are creating drifts in many of our gardens, and the azaleas are starting to provide a girly blush to the hillsides of the Azalea Garden.

The warmth of the last two days made many of our blooms pop, and now these more seasonal, cooler days will allow those blooms to hold on through the weekend. Combine what’s outside on our 150 acres with the spectacular Orchid Show in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, and I really can’t think of a single reason to not come for a visit! ~AR


ps - Here’s what we reported to be in bloom last week. Many of these beauties are lingering, so be sure to keep an eye out for them, too.

Botanical Gardens Orchid Show

2013

A few pics I took

So! Much! Color!!

In case you need some understanding of what you’re looking at, there’s a Manolo Valdés sculpture, some neotropical blueberries in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, a few images from The Orchid Show, and of course, the ever famous jade vine. As you can see, there’s plenty to do around our 250 acres at the moment, and that’s before spring really kicks in! ~AR

Cherries get all the love, but is that fair? A relative of the rose, the genus Malus, which contains the apple tree and crabapples, puts on quite the springtime show, too. And don’t even get me started on Syringa, aka lilacs, which should be popping into their fragrant, purple glory at any minute! Spring, it’s a many splendored thing! What is your favorite spring flower? ~AR
