Just walked through Central Park today – and the trumpet honeysuckle is in bloom! Pretty touch of pink and green, especially since a lot of the leaves have been blown off by Sandy.
There is another plant that is blooming, closer to the 79th Street crosstown drive (@ 5th Avenue) that I’m going to have to look up. Seems it might be similar to a rhododendron, since it’s a sizeable bush, with leaves that appear to be the same color and shape… just have to do it when I’m not on the bus or sitting in the back of a cab!
