Rainbow Garden

My front garden bloomed all the colors of the rainbow just in time for this past Pride Weekend.

The plants in bloom include natives, heirlooms, passalongs from past plant swaps, and weeds. Not everything in bloom is visible in the photo. Some are too small to stand out at this scale. Others are just off-frame to the right.

I still have my Marshal's T-Shirt from the very first Brooklyn Pride March on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. I don't know if I'll be able to enjoy any of the festivities this year. I'll be busy cleaning up the garden following the completion of the roof job, just in time for Sunday's Victorian Flatbush House Tour. If I do make it, there will be lots of photos!

All events take place in or kick off from Prospect Park near the Bartel-Pritchard entrance at the corner of Prospect Park West and 15th Street/Prospect Park SouthWest.
