Meanwhile in another part of the garden
This wonderful grape holly looked refreshingly autumnal on a hot, muggy day at the NYBG (New York Botanical Garden)
I miss the aroma of these along the Ladies’ Border in February. ~AR

Plants Boldly Go Where They've Never Gone Before
The PBS NewsHour blog takes a look at what may (or may not) be the effects of a changing climate on gardens across the United States, including at NYBG’s own Ladies’ Border. Why the hedged language? Because some of the changes outlined in the USDA’s new plant hardiness zone map have been brought about by better technology.
But, anecdotally, it really does feel like weather patterns are changing, from the southwest to the northeast. What do you think? Have you noticed any changes in the plants you can grow in your garden? ~AR

Landscape designer, NYBG instructor, and all-around plant lover Susan Cohen (read her fabulous blog here, and follow her on Tumblr here), took a walk down the Ladies’ Border recently, and quite liked what she saw.

Mahonia bealei…yum!
Best smelling shrub at the Garden right now. Intoxicating. Smells like a thousand Lilies of the Valley. Sniff it on the Ladies’ Border.

This glorious weather has the flowers on the Ladies’ Border blooming extra early. If you visit this week you can expect to see (pictured above, top to bottom, left to right):
Adonis amurensis (a cheery yellow and rare perennial flower)
Viburnum (they smell divine!)
Galanthus (snowdrops)
Jasminum nudiflorum (yellow winter jasmine sans aroma)
Hellebore (also known as Lenten Rose)
Prunus mume (a beautiful Japanese apricot)
and the positively intoxicating smelling Mahonia bealai.

Friend of the Garden Renata, the blogger behind My Garden and Home, came for a visit on Boxing Day, and while she liked the Train Show, she loved the Ladies’ Border. Find out why you should love this utterly unique, sliver of a garden, too.
