Today's Flowers

Some flowers from my week in NYC this week. First from Central Park
and from Wave Hill, a glorious garden we visited at Riverdale in the Bronx during the week!
Please forgive me if I don't have the names for some of them. I know some, but not all, coming from the tropics and the southern hemisphere!
Central Park again...this lake setting was very pretty...and a wedding party was being photographed here!
Some more photos from our trip to Wave Hill Garden. Beautiful orchids.


a yellow magnolia....I don't think I have ever seen one before....






This purple bush below was very stunning! I wonder what it is called?
and of course the lovely window boxes on our walk over to Central Park.
I love these blue hydrangeas.

A couple of photos here from our walk around NYU and Washington Square.



a couple more from Central Park....or thereabouts...


the one above we photographed at The Cloisters late yesterday afternoon...a wonderful place, and the Promenade Walk just lovely, with all the Spring flowers in bloom.

Do hope you enjoyed the flowers I have encountered in New York this week. For other contributors to this Today's Flowers segment, please click on the Today's Flowers photo/icon in the sidebar over there...

WOW! You shared a lot today. Thanks for these beautiful views!

I think that was a dogwood tree covered with pink and white blossoms. The tulips in the last two photos are lovely too. I don't know a lot of flower names but I've seen some of these flowers in CA.

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful series of flowers! :-)

Annie,
I think the first flowers bloom on a Daphne mezereum bush (of the thymelaeaceae family).
The orange blossoms above your tulips picture are Nasturtiums (edible, both blossoms and leaves).
The purple purple bush you were asking about is Sweet Williams (dianthus barbatus).
The greenish looking flowers belong to the hellebore family.

What gorgeous flowers you've captured! I know the names of a lot of your flowers, but certainly not all of them. Glad your time in NYC was wonderful.

How glorious! And it is so much more fun to photograph flowers that someone else planted and is tending, LOL!
