No, I’m not going crazy, I do realize that it’s winter. But inside the Nolen Greenhouses our horticulturists are already getting ready for spring and summer, and that means daisies! Cheery, aren’t they?

I’m sure this little orchid could tell a whale of a tale. It’s too bad that orchids, unlike animals, don’t begin to babble at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve.

The Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections are extraordinary. Not open to the public, these state-of-the art greenhouses are where many of the plants that will eventually be displayed on the Garden’s grounds are cared for. This time of year they are an explosion of color! Here’s a peek inside.

This enormous fern hangs from the ceiling in the Nolen Greenhouses where you can currently see an amazing display of Japanese chrysanthemums through this weekend.
