My husband, Marc, and I went to Bayard Cutting Arboretum on Long Island, with two friends yesterday. It was a glorious day for a leisurely stroll and the grounds look lovely at this time of year. In the early evening, we stopped for a fabulous meal at the Jolly Fisherman’s Restaurant in Roslyn on the way back to New York City. It was a lovely day all round, thanks to our friends.
If anyone knows the name of this wildflower (next 2 pictures b elow) please let me know. I tried to find it in my flower books. ID by Heather 5/15/2021 – many thanks

Bayard is one of my favorite places to visit especially when the flowers are blooming or in the fall when the leaves are turning Sherry. Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay Long Island is also excellent. Glad to hear you had a great day 🙂

I’ve been there too and liked it. We don’t have a car so getting out of the City is a challange.
