Sorry we missed you yesterday! These guys were sad and wanted to pop in to say, “Hello!”

The Giant Peruvian Daffodil’s fist-sized flower may be simple in yellow, but it’s a stunner—and a fragrant one, at that. I’m wondering where these will land after their stay in the Nolen Greenhouses.

Lycianthes rantonnetii is unquestionably purple, yet is is commonly known as the blue potato bush. Go figure! Regardless of color, if you live in Zones 9 through 11, it is a lovely, scented ornamental plant for your garden.

While the Conservatory is currently dedicated to the Holiday Train Show other parts of the Garden are already thinking about The Orchid Show.

Can you guess what’s starting up in the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections? It’s a time-consuming but rewarding process, best undertaken with a deliberate hand and a keen eye (not to mention years of training). And it lands this fall.

The climate outside is in a bit of a state, to put things lightly. But a few steps inside our Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections, the sleet and snow give way to nothing short of a tropical oasis. It’s here, among the kaleidoscope of plants housed within, that you’ll find thousands upon thousands of orchids–all waiting to make their way into the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. It’s sort of a bubble of pleasantry on an otherwise heinous Friday.
With just a few weeks left of our Tropical Paradise exhibition, there are still myriad opportunities to warm up and shrug off the chill. But we figured that on today of all days, you could use a toasty peek at what’s in store for New York come March 2. We stopped in with Kevin Character and the orchid wizard himself, Marc Hachadourian, to see how The Orchid Show is coming along under the glass.

The countdown has begun! At The New York Botanical Garden, we’ll be dropping a much smaller ball when the clock strikes midnight and we usher in 2012. Where will you be tonight when the ball drops?
