Today's Flowers

A selection of flowers from around the Upper West Side , New York, during our stroll to Riverside Park after church for a picnic lunch, and a look at a street market on Broadway. This fine hibiscus specimen above was for sale at the market, among many other healthy looking plants!
some nice white flowers at Riverside....
there were many people there just sitting, soaking in the lovely sunshine!

many many window boxes along the streets outside the windows....
I hope you enjoy them all....
a wonderful pink hydrangea.....
a simple box of blue petunias

I just spent the afternoon planting hanging baskets full of petunias...but they'll never look as lovely as those planted in a New York window box. I have no idea why those appeal to me so much. I always love your pictures of them.

The photos are delightful. Hibiscus are one of my favorite flowers, but so are the hydrangeas, the petunias, the roses and so on.

Your photos are just lovely and the window shots made me smile. I felt like I'd taken a mini-trip to your city!

Your photo reminds me that nature very graciously puts up with us and can take over at any moment. I say this after 13 days of rain..... Beautiful.

I'll be back at Today's Flowers before long (when I get a chance to turn around and sort my photos out etc) but for now, I will come here and see your beautiful flowers.

I also tagged you with a photo meme. You don't have to do it, but it is quite fun and pretty effortless. If you don't want to do it, that's fine but I thought you'd like it.
