CHRYSANTHEMUMS!
 |
For the next week, and the next week only, it is worth a detour or, in fact, an immediate teletransportation up to the Conservatory Garden (105th Street and Fifth Avenue) to see the most glorious display of chrysanthemums that you could ever hope to see. The four sloping beds of the north garden are stuffed with two thousand single-petal Korean chrysanthemums of varying hues. These were planted in early June and are only now coming in to their full peak of color. Sadly, they will be pulled out on Wednesday, November 9th (and given away to community gardeners who will replant them in their own gardens for a fall display next year) by the garden volunteers, who will then plant 21,000 spring-blooming tulips for the May display, starting the cycle all over again. But, in the meantime, race up to the garden and enjoy the show!
