New York Botanical Gardens: Wealthy in Friends, Part 1

It's wet. It's green. It's alive.






















Lucky, lucky me: I have a talented, funny, remarkably smart friend who works at the New York Botanical Gardens and who spent a day last week showing me around.

Hi TGS. I can't tell you exactly the species of the plant, but I can tell you it is an Ericaceae, in the same family as blueberries! Isn't it lovely? Man, you would have loved the ins and outs of the tour--we got to see so much. It is an incredible place.
