Months, even years, after visiting a
botanical garden, I can still revel in its beauty through pictures I have
taken. So it has proven with the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, which has provided seemingly endless
fodder—not to mention images my readers can enjoy—since my visit a few years ago.
The cascading hopflower oregano (Origanum
libanoticum) is a perennial with fragrant leaves reaching 1 to 2 feet tall.
From summer to fall, its pale green lanterns hang from arching stems, with a
purple flower on each lantern.
