Morning Eye Candy: Rockets’ Red Glare

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on July 4 2013, by Matt Newman

Francis Scott Key may never have penned “the rockets’ pink glare,” but if he had, he’d be covered on the imagery front. Happy Independence Day, everyone! The NYBG is open today, so don’t hesitate to join us for your pre-fireworks adventures.

Happy 4th!

Beautiful! Although, I wish the morning eye candy would say which plant we are looking at. Happy 4th!

We do our best to include a species and common name when they happen to be tied to the image, or we know them off the top of our heads. But with all the photos Ivo takes, there aren’t always immediately visible tags attached to the plants. I’ll see if I can get an ID on this one, though. Sorry Tara!
