“Mr. Flower Fantastic’s Concrete Jungle” 2026 Orchid Show: NYBG Feast for the Senses
When it’s still snowing in March, I get depressed. After a long winter, I’m ready…5 Winter Wonderful Hudson Valley Hikes
I love hiking in winter. Wait. Let me start again. I love hiking in winter…It’s 3 PM. Do You Know Where Your Coffee Is?

Vacation Inspiration
Wondering where to go next? Start here. I’ve ticked many must-sees off my list. Some of the trips were epic; others, overrated. And many under-the-radar destinations are more interesting than those that get all the press. Here’s where to go, what to do and tips you need to know.
Head to @cambriastationantiques to marvel at the arch constructed of 3000+ books. Then, embark on a treasure hunt through 3 floors of antiques, curiosities and used books. It’s one of the reasons a @gotomontva road trip belongs on your to-go list. #virginiatech #hokies #montgomerycountyva #antiquesandvintage #roadtripusa
Ticked the #phillyflowershow off my bucket list! Worth the wait and the crowds and the $$. #flowerpower #visitphilly #springblooms
I’ve started collecting interesting glass jars to root cuttings. This one’s special. It traveled home with me from Cyprus - it was filled with traditional spoon sweets…sugar-preserved fruit or vegetables offered to guests as a welcome taste. It’s shaped like an ancient amphora, the clay urns used for wine and oil. Such a wonderful reminder of the people I met on an amazing trip. @visitcypruscom @letssipp #cypriotfood #mediterraneanfood #souvenir
The 2026 @nybg Orchid Show is a love letter to NYC, designed by @mrflowerfantastic … my fave moments: the prettiest brownstone (with stoop), festooned chain link fences and a portrait-worthy manhole cover. Now through April 26. Link in bio to my @shebuystravel guide. #flowerpower #nycevents #orchidshow2026 #orchidnybg #inbloom
