Sequence

I sent ferdjax a note after I saw this excellent series of photographs of a gingko tree, hoping fervently that he had taken these shots at the Garden. Alas, he had not. But, there is a happy ending, because they were taken at the Cloisters, and I love the Cloisters, too. So, in the end everyone wins. ~AR

Honestly, I just love reading The Medieval Garden Enclosed, the blog of the Cloisters Museum and Gardens (part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art); they do such an amazing job of tying modern plants to the past, and their recent post on the rose in heraldry is no exception. If the Garden had a crest, I would imagine that at least one of the beautiful roses from the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden would make it into the design. What plant would be in your crest? ~AR
