The Times takes a look at the implications of this unseasonably warm winter. Above, VP For Horticulture and Living Collections smells the heavenly Dawn viburnum which has burst into bloom several weeks early on the Ladies’ Border at the Garden.

Amid Winter Blooms, Wondering What That Means for Spring - NYTimes.com

A Colorful Stroll Through the Winter
For the professional horticulturist, plant mutations are treasures. The New York Times recently caught up with Richard Jaynes of the Broken Arrow nursery in Connecticut, where he grows over 65% of the plants he sells, many of them oddities he himself has propagated from findings in the wild. And after 65 years, he’s been able to collect and breed some fascinating specimens.
Have a look; even if Mr. Jaynes’ rarities are a bit difficult to find, his suggestions for winter beauties are spot on. —MN

Like a warm, fuzzy memory … that dusting of snow a few weekends ago. Winter 2012, you have been so weird. Thank you Cindy for this beautiful reminder!~AR

Meet Charles G Hogg
If he sees his shadow and scurries back inside in fright, this means six more weeks of winter; if he doesn’t, we can expect an early spring.
In a bid to elevate Chuck to his rightful place in the pantheon of great weather rodents, the Guardian travelled to the zoo on Wednesday for a rare and exclusive interview.
This blog is Team Chuck.
Charles G. Hogg gets our vote, too!

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.

Pictures from (what turned out to be) a beautiful late-January day.
Says Sarah Paulson, Coordinator of Teen Programs in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, “Hellebores are opening and daffodils are coming up in Plant Part Paradise! Bulbs are also popping up between bald Cyprus knees on Adventure Trail!”
Oh, and there’s ducks, even more ducks than yesterday!

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.

It’s easy to love the Garden in the spring and summer, when everything is in bloom. It’s harder to love the Garden in winter, when the branches are bare and the ground is hard, but as the blogger behind Subtextual found it, loving the Garden in winter is just as rewarding. Beautiful photographs. Thank you for your visit!

"Yesterday after a 30 minute walk in the snow the Caribbean Garden exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden was a great place to spend a couple of hours observing the play between light and plants. If you want a dose of warm weather and tropical color, head on over to the Caribbean Garden exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden."

happy accident: a garden for 365 days
Designing a four-season garden can be a gradual, casual affair. Margaret from A Way To Garden for instance fell into it through her love of birds.
