Spring Flowers in Brooklyn

Scenes from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden:

Cherry blossoms in peak bloom. The petals are already falling rapidly from this weekend's wind and rain.

My 2 year old buried her face in these.

There are white ones too.

And Japanese Flowering Cherries.

And hanging Ligan Cherrries.

And Mahaleb Cherries.

It's not all cherries. There are Grape Hyacinth.

And a Bamboo grove.

And Forget Me Nots.

And Witch Alder.

And spooky old trees.

And Tulips, almost vulgar.
