Early Signs Of Spring Bloom At Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Even though spring is still three weeks away, the mild winter has led to some early color on trees and plants at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. NY1's Roger Clark filed the following report. The hellebores have bloomed, as have the yellow aconites -- all just a little bit ahead of themselves in these last weeks of winter. "These are plants that don't really need a long cold dormancy period, so they were cold for a couple of weeks, then it became warm, and they think it's spring," said Brooklyn Botanic Garden Spokesperson Kate Blumm.
