Morning Eye Candy: In the Rotunda
Posted in Photography on March 5 2015, by Matt Newman
You’ll often see the Orchid Rotunda of the Library Building listed on our maps and handouts at the Garden, but seldom does it see the spotlight on Plant Talk—until now, anyway! Pat Gonzalez happened by and decided to snap a photo of the glass enclosure for which the Rotunda is eponymously named. This column of living orchids displays some of the most dazzling varieties year after year.

Wasn’t it Narcissus, the daffodil’s namesake, who contemplated his reflection in the water? The orchid can be just as vain.

“Ever upward”—that’s New York’s state motto, and NYBG has taken the message to heart for this year’s Orchid Show!

A somewhat more rarefied visitor to the Garden grounds than our Red-tailed Hawks, Pat tells us the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden and the surrounding Wetlands are often good spots to see these regal raptors.

The way Chinese witch hazel braves the cold is an inspiration to us all.

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.

It may not be a red rose, but a crimson bottlebrush will do just as nicely for Valentine’s Day at NYBG.
