Here it is! Your handy guide to what’s in bloom at the NYBG, and probably across New York City, too. I know I saw a blooming Viburnum on the High Line not too long ago, and I have spotted several crocuses and daffodils in pocket parks. I’ll try to do another one of these each week for the next few weeks so you’ll always know what you’re talking about, at least when it comes to flowers and blossoming trees and shrubs. ~AR

susancohan: 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.

These little String Gardens are just amazing! They only ship within the E.U. and Turkey for now, though there is a note on the site saying they’re looking into setting up a temporary shop in the Berkshires.

A fascinating look at the living fossil, Sciadopitys verticillata, also known as the lovely little Japanese Umbrella pine.
