When my boyfriend and I were last there it was two years ago, in October, for the Frida Kahlo exhibit; the grounds were packed\u2014almost too crowded to thoroughly enjoy\u2014and the lines to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/learn\/mertz-library\/\">Mertz Library<\/a>\u00a0prohibitive to the impatient. Only a handful of people came to brave the heat this time, leaving us free to wander as we pleased. Twice we circled the perennial garden. It was breathtaking, yes, but I loved it because it so easily could&#8217;ve been\u00a0<em>the<\/em> garden I imagined from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Secret-HarperClassics-Frances-Hodgson-Burnett\/dp\/006440188X\">this book I adored as a child<\/a>. This I told Kevin, and my heart warmed watching him snap photos of flowers and their little signs. He was duly cataloging the plants we loved.\u00a0<em>For the future<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Less picture perfect (but pictured above, for posterity), was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/garden\/the-corpse-flower-amorphophallus-titanum\/\">corpse flower<\/a>. It hadn&#8217;t yet bloomed when we visited\u2014but even in its dormant state, the corpse bud was magnificent to behold. Forget its notorious scent (likened to that of rotting flesh) or its unpredictable, decade-long chrysalis. This was a giant plant that appeared surreal, like a fantastical element in a dream world or something that belonged to prehistoric times. It was at least 10 feet tall, center stage in NYBG&#8217;s tropical greenhouse. I smelled nothing and was grateful for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I took photos instead.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"13061\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/nybg-hawaii-georgia-okeeffe\/nybg-georgia-okeeffee-visions-of-hawaii-art-exhibit-dole-pineapple-ads\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/nybg-georgia-okeeffee-visions-of-hawaii-art-exhibit-dole-pineapple-ads.jpg?fit=2000%2C1499&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1499\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"nybg georgia o&amp;#8217;keeffee &amp;#8211;

To be fair, I&#8217;ve never found tropical florals noteworthy (a reflection of personal aesthetic, not the artist&#8217;s interpretation of nature&#8217;s creation), and am partial to O&#8217;Keeffe&#8217;s pre-1930s work. Instead, I was fascinated by her correspondence with Alfred (her husband) during the length of her Hawaiian trip. I appreciate art, but I&#8217;m turned on by understanding motivation and experience over the final product. As a girl who devoured diaries and interviews more than any other genre, I wanted more. More insight on her creative process.

Only a handful of people came to brave the heat this time, leaving us free to wander as we pleased. Twice we circled the perennial garden. It was breathtaking, yes, but I loved it because it so easily could&#8217;ve been\u00a0the garden I imagined from\u00a0this book I adored as a child. This I told Kevin, and my heart warmed watching him snap photos of flowers and their little signs. He was duly cataloging the plants we loved.\u00a0For the future. Less picture perfect (but pictured above, for posterity), was the corpse flower. It hadn&#8217;t yet bloomed when we visited\u2014but even in its dormant state, the corpse bud was magnificent to behold. Forget its notorious scent (likened to that of rotting flesh) or its unpredictable, decade-long chrysalis.
