Treasure Hunt

Treasure Hunt It’s like a treasure hunt. Visiting the Seasonal Walk as it progresses definitely takes on a “Where’s Waldo” quality under closer scrutiny. And who doesn’t like searching for hidden jewels?

Of course, in this case, the sequestered bling is of the horticultural kind. And the deeper you explore, the more tuberous begonias, hymenocallis, oxalis, ornithogalum, galtonia, anemones, etc you find.

Plus, the staff at the NYBG peppered in finds like Gaura lindheimeri ‘Stratosphere Pink Picotee’™, Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Sonata’ Carmine, angelonia, and Lantana trifolia throughout to insure that there isn’t a dull moment for the brides’ benefit in this border that continually hosts weddings.
