All week I've been showing you wonderful views of the beautiful and historic Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Springtime is a wonderful time to visit as the first blooms appear, from cherry trees, magnolia trees, and the assorted flowering bulbs such as daffodils and tulips. Spring comes slowly to the Northeast and we have to be patient waiting it's arrival, but when it does appear New Yorkers rejoice and come out in large numbers to enjoy the gardens.
The tulips were ablaze in color!
They are truly drops from God's colorful paintbrush!
The magnificent old trees in the garden were beginning to awaken and stretch their limbs and shake out their leafy fingers.
Flowers were everywhere, some releasing their delicate perfume scent into the air.
Inside the conservatory the sunshine of Spring spurred on new growth and developing fruits.
The visual poetry of nature was there to be enjoyed and savored.
Yet the garden still held promises of more to come, as we look down upon The Cranford Rose Garden waiting for the month of June to begin blooming.
"Come back," it whipered to me. "I will," I promised. I will!
This post is one of many in Susan's A Southern Daydreamer blog's "Outdoor Wednesday" event. Please visit Susan's blog today to see links to all the blogs participating with their beautiful outdoor photos.

Oh my word....so gorgeous....the mosaics of tulips and other flowers are amazing. With so much concrete there I would imagine all would LOVE to go to such wonderful gardens. Thank you so much for doing all the work it takes to put your blog posts together....they are a joy to me no matter what the subject.
Aww Pat
It has been an absolute pleasure visiting this beautiful garden with you!
I enjoyed all your incredible pics and amazing information about this hidden gem in your city.
I love the blaze of colours here - who would have thought tulips could come in such variety and such colours! And the fruiting plants in the conservatory - especially that big banana plant with that bunch of fruit and heart!
I can't wait for the roses to bloom. It looks utterly romantic and a must see!
Thank you for this sumptuous visual delight!
Take care

So beautiful! The only thing I wouldn't like is the crowds! LOL..use to living in the sticks..
Such vibrant flowers and colors!
Now that is one beautiful garden! Such lovely bright colors. I think you found every color in the rainbow to photograph.
Do they charge to get in there?
Hugs,

Hi Pat, it's been a little while since I've been able to visit, and I've just been reveling in all of your garden posts. Those cherry blossoms just took my breath away--how spectacular, just such lavish beauty. The bonsai exhibit is fascinating to me--I've always enjoyed seeing them. And now all the tulips are blooming too. It's sure worth the wait, isn't it?
My husband and I love visiting botanical gardens wherever we go. If you are ever in Durham, NC, be sure to visit Duke Gardens adjacent to the campus of Duke University. I know that you'll enjoy them, they are just lovely.
Hi Pat, NOW---you've hit me where it hurts... WOW---those tulips are fabulous!!!!! (And I thought our yard was pretty!!!! HA).... All of the flowers are gorgoues---and I can't wait 'til you go back and see the roses in JUNE....
Have a great Wednesday.
Hugs,
Betsy
Pat - Your photos are stunning. You're going to have everybody wanting to move to Brooklyn!
Too lovely...that is one impressive garden with all those tulips ablaze with vivid color. I must show them to Nan.
Breathtaking photos as always Pat. Those tulips are just gorgeous, one of my very favorite flowers. And what type of tree is that beautiful gnarled one? I love it! Thanks for the tour. Kathy
Hi Pat, I can't get enough of this garden. Those flowers mosaics are incredible. I say, show us more, more!
Now THAT is Spring!!
m ^..^
Love all those tulips. We never see a display like that here.
I'm planning to visit our Botanical garden again soon myself. The last time I was there we didn't make it into the green houses.
spring... does it get any better?
Goodness !! Look at all those colours, I wish I am there Pat :)
Hi Pat, these gardens are very beautiful. I could wander in a place like this for hours. The wonder of beautiful gardens makes me smile all day. I also like the Bonsai garden in your previous post. Bonsai is a true art form.
Outdoor Wednesday is one of my favorite blogging days. Shhh, don't tell Beverly. Smile.
Time for bed. Somehow I am always doing my posts late at night.
Good night.
Hugs, Jeanne
Your pictures of all the flowers are amazing!!
Thanks for taking us along on your garden tour. What a beautiful place to walk in spring! And I'll gladly join you again...once those roses are in full bloom.
Magnificent! Happy happy spring!

Those tulips are so breathtaking, I would love to lay right down in the middle of them and absorb their vibrancy!

My heart stood still.
Such lovely gardens! Much appreciated at this time of the year I'm sure! Beautiful colours, also enjoyed the Bonsai post. Brilliant!!!
Oh my goodness Pat what gorgeous pictures of those beautiful trees and flowers. It must be wonderful to be able to walk there. What a treat. thank you for sharing.
Spring at the Botanical Gardens is simply gorgeous! Great shots, Pat! Stunning!
Oh Pat I almost squealed when I saw the rose garden! Those tulips are magnificent. My fav ones are the red with black centres like my Grandmother had, and the variety called "Blue Parrot" which don't look like tulips at all. :-)
Spring and it's beautiful colours is so inspiring.
Pat, thanks for all of the gorgeous pictures. I love the tulips the best. We're still in Florida so I missed all of our red tulips in our yard in North Carolina. Very sad.
Sam
Wow, Such beautiful photos Pat! I love spring with all the green and colors and you captured it all!
Wow, I will have to visit these gardens on our next trip to NY! I didn't even know they were there. We have only ever been to New York in Winter so I will have to try and go in the Spring-time next trip.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Awww...I love spring. And I love fall. I just like change.
SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!
Wow I thought the Buchart Gardens we visited in Victoria last year were beautiful-these top that-love those tulips-Spring has definitely made its mark on Brooklyn in a big, beautiful way Pat!
The colors are just breathtaking!!!
What a lovely place to take a little break today, Pat. I've escaped the workmen for a few, and I wanted to drop by and visit. Have missed you!
Hope all is well with you, and I hope to be back to blogging soon.
Love you...
XO,
Sheila :-)
I love that so many people are enjoying the gardens.
Wouldnt it be wonderful to be able to garden as well as the pro's do?
Lovely photos. Thanks for the tour.
What a beautiful post. I love spring flowers!
Your spring photos are a glorious celebration of this time of the year. And their beauty inspires a much-needed sense of relaxation and well-being inside me.
What a spectacular how, Pat! Such incredible beauty and color. Makes me want to head to Victoria, BC and those incredible Butchart Gardens.
I wish I knew how to do those nice collages. They are so pretty.
What a beautiful way to show the flowers...in the mosaics! I love the tulips! The colors are so vibrant! ♥
