I like the tongue!  Looks like you did hit the orchids - that appears to be Rockefeller Plaza! |

It certainly does look like Rockefeller Plaza, one of my favorite places during Christmas, Something everyone should see in person.

There were actually two of them, along with a baby chick. Rockefeller Center always has something fun.

More? I guess I will be schlepping on by there this week searching for topiary! Yea, I have to carry the old digi cam everywhere for the next month as everything us starting to bloom! Tuesday I zip through the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens which has a fabulous and very rare yellow (huge) magnolia tree. And then the NYBG, Central Park, and of course Green-Wood Cemetery (for those who have never been it is will be at its resplendent peak in about ten days!). |

I didn't realize the yellow ones were considered rare. My parents planted a small one a few years ago that finally bloomed for the first time last year. They're quite lovely, though I've still haven't gotten used to the Northeast's version of magnolias. I always think of them as huge white flowers, surrounded by thick,waxy leaves.

Well, I meant rare in the sense that the only one I ever saw was at the BBG. Let me check my NYBG archives. . .
No, I can't find any from past years.
So, all I can say is I never saw one on a city street, near a house, or anyplace else. So, go figure.
I will post photos of my most recent sojourn to the BBG later tonight.
