We saw a small exhibit in the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx on Van Gogh. The best things where the quotes of Van Gogh. I was not enthralled by this display. I imagined seeing and feeling hints of where he lived and worked. The artwork not to my taste. Strange that they left out yellow in the pallet. Yellow is one of Van Gogh’s much used colors.
These have all been treated by me in Photoshop.
I did a few sky swaps and added some atmosphere in these photographs.
I had fun editing these in Lightroom then Photoshop. I added things and altered colors in the background.
The lilacs on May 6 were near the end of their blooming. We did find some nice ones to photograph. This was on our own after the Azalea Lunch event. Lilac Collection | New York Botanical Garden.
Marc and I attended an event for members at the New York Botanical Garden. First we were given an excellent tour of the Azalea Garden | New York Botanical Garden. The young lady that led our tour was very knowledgeable. Next we were all driven in a tram to the Stone Mill. There, we enjoyed a lovely buffet lunch. And it was an opportunity to meet and talk with other members. The Stone Mill is used for events, like weddings (Stone Mill | Bronx Premier Wedding Venue | NY Botanical Garden).
There is a lot of species of Rhododendron – Wikipedia. Azaleas are in the Rhododendron’s 1,024 member group. NYBG boasts 6,706 individual azalea and rhododendron plants, which represent 456 different species, hybrids, and cultivated varieties.
The next 4 posts will be from that day, May 6, 2025.
I don’t have to look up the plants in the New York Botanical Garden because most of them are labeled. After many trips there I have memorized the names of some of them.
Other flowers besides the magnolias that I photographed in the New York Botanical Garden this March.
