Today I dragged my better half to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It was a brief visit; it was sunny and warm when we left the house, but cloudy and chilly by the time I finished buying my seeds at the gift shop.
The Bonsai Museum
The Desert Pavilion
The Tropical Pavilion
The Japanese Garden
Miscellaneous
Artist and subject in the Trail of Evolution greenhouse. BBG offers classes in botanical art and illustration. I think one or more classes were in session when we visited. We saw several student-artists throughout the garden.
Magnolia in bud at, where else, Magnolia Plaza. I'm guessing bloom for the Star Magnolias is just two weeks away, depending on what weather we get.
The Shakespeare Garden. I hardly ever spend any time in this garden; I usually pass through it on my way to another destination. The entrance to this garden is just across from the Japanese Garden. It also connects with the Fragrance Garden.

Thanks for these interesting pictures of the BBG. I like the way you've presented them, and appreciate this glimpse of a place that my husband and I have talked of going for quite some time.
I also enjoyed your latest parrot video. It's the first I've seen of your Brooklyn parrots. Fascinating!
Thanks for the info on the multiflora rose. I appreciate you stopping by.
Wonderful pictures, Xris, especially for a cold and cloudy day. I'm so happy to discover your blog - if there's habitat in NYC, there's hope for us all - I'm looking forward to subscribing and reading your posts.
Thanks for stopping by Wrenaissance ...
