New Year's Day "Spring"

New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY

Note: After the second warmest December on record, numerous flowers around the NYC metro area were in bloom on New Year's day (See below). On this 6 January 2024 the weather has turned more winter-like in the NYC metro area.

Each of the pictures is a visual delight, William.

The adaptability of plants is fascinating.
Although they still need time to fully acclimate, I am confident that they will.

Yes, plants are adapting. Some such as forsythia, cherry blossoms, and lilacs bloom twice a year. Others are learning to self-pollinate.

A beautiful floral image, William. I saw that the global average temperature for 2023 was a record high.

Thank you Tiabunna. Sadly it was and it seems January 2024 despite the frigid temps in Scandinavia is starting out the same way. :( Let's hope at a minimum there's less wildfires this year.

Not surprising. Until recently some vegetables were still growing in NY. Winters are definitely shorter!

Couldn't imagine that these were blooming outdoors and then saw the reference to the NYBG. Beautiful photo!

It wasn't only at the botanical garden. Flowers like forsythia were blooming all around the NYC metro area. Some of the photos I included below were taken in Dobbs Ferry, Irvington and Mamaroneck.

Lovely floral close-ups, William.
At this point, 'adaptation' has taken precedence over the fight against global warming. Which just goes to show that António Guterres's wishes, among others, might remain wishful thinking.
Have a good weekend!

Très beau William
Oui avec le changement climatique la nature
s'adapte... mieux que nous, et elle passera cette épreuve comme elle
l 'a fait depuis des millions d'années
regardes chez nous elle s'appelle..

Lovely New Year blossoms! So disturbing when you know the reason of this premature blossoming.

Winter Jasmine is a favourite of mine, blooming at such a time of the year when there are few if any pollinators about it always brightens my day when I come across a plant in full bloom.
