NYBG Pink Roses
We signed up for a member’s Rose Brunch at the Stone Mill. We had a lovely meal after the guide showed us all the roses in the Rose Garden | New York Botanical Garden. The garden was initially designed by renowned landscape architect Beatrix Farrand (1872–1959).

Bayard Cutting Flowers 1 of 2
There are lovely flowers at Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Long Island, NY. I try to identify what I see.
Bayard Cutting Plants
Created from a trip that I led for Sierra Club Photo NYC – New York City Sierra Club Photography Committee. There will be four more posts on the Bayard Cutting Arboretum.
Right of Way
Cuts made for powerlines are often good places to find butterflies and plants. This one is near Call Hollow Road and Harriman State Park. It has a lot of laurel bushes. Unfortunately, these areas are often used for illegal dumping.
Mountain Laurel
In June, I photographed mountain laurel in three locations. I found a pink variety in a right-of-way near Call Hollow Road near the Bayard Cutting Arboretum. At the arboretum there was a striking red variety. I love the sculptural design of the flowers.
Mt Gulian
We had a lovely historical tour led by a historian at Mount Gulian Historic Site | Hudson Valley | Beacon NY. The flowers are from the garden there. After that, we drove to Stony Kill Farm Environmental Education Center – NYSDEC. I photographed a wet young red-tailed hawk there.
