Kardinal Kolorscape, Floribunda 2001
Marc and I visited Brooklyn Botanic Garden on Tuesday, June 4 to see the Cranford Rose Garden in bloom. I didn’t intend to do another post about it. But the roses were so exquisite, and there were many I’d missed last year; and, as usual, BBG surprised us with additional delights: this time, the water-lilies in flower at Lily Pool Terrace.

So I have to share: roses (all new), then water-lilies. Please enjoy.
