#nyc I was hoping to catch the #nybg New York botanical gardens 2026 orchid show today.

NYBG’s indoor huge glass atrium, the Haupt Conservatory, is usually a colorful respite from the cold and a good spot to go for a walk with friends. (Even if I remain kinda mad at management there for working hard to cancel the much needed Fordham busway.)

But their ad campaign has me totally weirded out.

Can someone explain this to me - not an artist, a news consuming scientist?

Is right now the moment to promote a guy in a full on gas mask and dark glasses?

Trying a new treatment this time around! This series from NYBG pertains to a number of beautiful blossoms found throughout the grounds! I always gotta start with some lilies! #nature #flowers #nybg #fall #autumn #fallvibes #autumnvibes #fallcolors #autumncolors #leica #leicaq343
Fall at NYBG is absolutely beautiful. I have a few sets I’ll be posting over the week. This set is of beautiful fall colors set against an incredibly blue sky! #nature #trees #nybg #fall #autumn #fallvibes #autumnvibes #fallcolors #autumncolors #leica #leicaq343
A visit to nybg today brought with it a stunning view of their corpse flower just about to bloom. Seems like we are probably off by about two day, so it was just getting ready to open. The moment we entered the area there was a faint scent, alluding to the effervescence forthcoming! #nature #nybg #corpseflower #plant #flower #naturelovers #leica #leicaq343 #polarpro135series

The 2025 New York Botanical Garden Orchid Show ⋆ The Mint Chip Mama

The New York Botanical Garden Orchid Show is one of the most gorgeous exhibits in the area. This year it focuses on the colors of Mexico.

While bluesky and mastodon fix under the hood... I was at #NYBG Botanical Gardens yesterday in The #Bronx... The Lilacs have fresh, blooming and fragrant flowers. The Magnolias have fuzzy buds. Is this #ecology adaptation to #ClimateChange ? Typical 3rd summer in #nyc? Can someone explain?

#nyc had been in #drought without any rain for months.

Finally - we have 2.5 days of decent, drizzle with just shy of 2” of rain. And … I plants are blooming. Just before winter. (??)

We are still in a drought and rain deficit, but the fire risk should be abated.

Today in the #bronx #nybg the Lilacs have real, fragrant flowers and the Magnolias see resplendent with fuzzy buds. Like it’s March.

Can my #ecologist friends please explain this to me? Has #climatechange confounded our flora?
