Thursday April 26 was a quiet day for birds so I decided to focus on flowers. They were mostly photographed in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and a few in Central Park.
Found it! So these are the gardens at Prospect Park. This Old House visited Prospect Park and Merchant’s House Museum while filming the restoration of a Brownstone in Brooklyn. I searched your archives for related photos, but could not find any from the Merchant’s House which is the only preserved family home from the 19th century. Also, I wanted to learn more about the lake at Prospect Park. An urban lake?
I enjoyed this walk through the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Sherry, a wonderful variety of unique plants and flowers. Fun to see what you found in Central Park, too. Venus Flytraps are so cool, something I hardly ever see. Your cherry blossom pano was delightful.

Thanks for looking in my archives. I don’t recall visiting the Merchant House. I found an interesting page on the lake in Prospect Park and others in NYC https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/57276.html#:~:text=Prospect%20Park%20Lake.%20One%20of%20New%20York%20City%27s,latter%20part%20of%20which%20is%20called%20the%20Lullwater.
