The holiday season has come to an end, but the celebrations have just started! Come ring in the Year of the Snake every weekend of February during our Lunar New Year Celebration. Speaking of Lunar New Year, one of the plants associated with this winter celebration is the plum tree, which is currently flowering in the Pollination Garden. If you’re looking for more pink flowers, check out the cymbidiums and orchids blooming in the Greenhouse. Take a listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog below to learn more about what’s blooming in the Garden. Then put on a sweater and come see these beauties in person!
