Named for the wife of the person who first bred this passion flower cultivar, I have to guess she was content with her namesake.

With less than two weeks left in this year’s run of the Holiday Train Show, there’s still time to make your annual trip—but not much!

Happy New Year! Have some botanical fireworks for the first day of 2016. We’re open today, so feel free to drop by and walk the grounds, explore the Holiday Train Show, and think about grabbing a ticket this Saturday’s Bar Car Night!

Woken by the unnaturally warm winter we’re having, a few dozy snowdrops come up well ahead of their springtime schedule.

It’s finally looking like a chill might be taking New York, or at least that’s the case this morning. Looking to the Conservatory’s tropical blueberries for some colorful inspiration.

Happy holidays, everyone—it may not feel much like winter out there today, but the trees are still dressed for the season. From our Instagram feed Wednesday morning, the sketched silhouettes of trees in a drift of fog. Don’t forget to follow us there, where you’ll see highlights small and large from throughout the Garden and our exhibitions!
Heads up that we’re closed today, but we’ll reopen tomorrow for a three-day weekend (that includes Monday) of Holiday Train Show fun. Enjoy your day off!
