Sorry about the misleading title, but I could think of nothing but spring-colored peppermints when I saw these orchids waiting for their moment in the spotlight during The Orchid Show. See them for yourself beginning February 28.

New York might not seem like a hub of romance right now, what with the iced over sidewalks and sounds of cars spinning their tires in the snow, but trust me when I say that there’s at least one place in the city where the cozy warmth and inviting atmosphere of Valentine’s Day is alive and well. Returning for another year on February 14, our intimate Valentine’s Day Date will once again provide you with an opportunity to treat your nearest and dearest to a night of champagne, delectable aphrodisiacs, and tropical escapism in NYBG’s Haupt Conservatory.
Exclusively for MasterCard holders, this special evening for adults takes place amid the highlights of Wild Medicine in the Tropics, a showcase of the Conservatory’s permanent collection and the unique medicinal plants that are housed there.

Divided by glacial movement ages and ages ago, Split Rock is one of the defining features of the Native Plant Garden. I’d say it was the collection’s beauty mark, but there are just too many of those in there to elect one.

Look for hints of amber in the Native Plant Garden, where exfoliating trees create unique winter colors and textures.

Try and explain to this bougainvillea that it’s winter, and pink isn’t en vogue.
