The Brooklyn Botanic Garden was beautiful on my last visit. The Lily Pond Terrace located in the garden has nearly 100 varieties of water-lilies, lotuses, and other aquatic plants in a stunning summer display.
Each and every one is an exquisite masterpiece!
Of course the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is also exploding with beautiful roses at this time of the year.

Sorry I didn't get to go there.
I tried to comment on prize, but it doesnt take google. I don't want
to join anymore Facebook etc.
Just saw Bridesmaids. Could have been a good movie, they spoiled it with the foul, filthy mouthed
language, I walked out. Can't pay money to be insulted. I went there to get cheered up. Lost my Dog. yvonne
Perfect pictures of pretty pinkness!!
Wow!!! Take care, Pat!! x
Hi Pat! With the long weekend here in Lisbon (four days off...), I finally manage to stroll around Blogosphere...
It looks awesome!!
Blogtrotter Two is visiting some beautiful villages... Enjoy and have a splendid weekend!!
Such beautiful photos! There is beauty everywhere--we just have to have eyes (and cameras at times!) to see and appreciate. Have a good weekend!
A really beautiful place, for walking or relaxing. Beautiful phos as always.
Your water lilies are beautiful Pat. Now that's a lot of pink.
Happy pink Saturday.

Oh they are so lovely! You have become the mosaic master where flowers are concerned. Nothing like pink to cheer one.
WOW...all this pink makes my toes tingle... those lilies are DAZZLING! I love water lilies, something we don't see a lot of here. ;o) Happy Weekend, Pat ((HUGS))
How beautiful! I must figure out a way to make a silk ribbon water lily. They'd be great embellishments for my crazy quilts.
WOWSER!...Pat I want to visit here sooooo bad!! If I head that way will you be my tour guide,teehehe!
I did not know there was such beauty in Brooklyn,you always amaze with these fantastic photo's.

I have not seen the movie "Bridesmaids" as yet. I am not a fan of bad language either. Guess I won't be seeing it!
What a beautiful place!! And congratulations to your daughter!!
Lovely blooms...beautiful gardens.
I always admire floating flowers...so exotic!
I am so glad you show everyone all the beauty that is in our 'asphalt jungle'! I haven't been there in years, but these photos make me want to drive in for a visit.
Re the movie "Bridesmaids", a friend of mine saw it and said there is a scene where they all get food poisoning and all need to use the bathroom at the same time -- not pretty. Crossed it off my list. xo,
What a lovely place. Now I wish I was spending 2 weeks in NY and not just 4 days!
Pat, These pictures are just stunning! What a beautiful place to walk around. How is the wedding planning coming along? So many decisions to be made, but fun and sweet decisions.
Gorgeous shots, Pat. I love the water lilies, gorgeous!
You've been all over NY and are the most amazing tour guide, have you been to the High Line yet? It was on the news, and looked like a fantastic place to visit. Just curious.
Oh, these are wonderful!!! It is kind of rare to see water lilies around here.
I would like very much to be able to visit that garden. What a lovely place. I enjoy all flowers.
Love the water lilies, they are just stunning. I hope to make it to the Botanic Gardens this Fall.
Your daughters engagement ring is stunning! She must be on cloud nine! Have they set a date yet?
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Pink Saturday to you!

What beautiful pictures of a beautiful place! We have family that lives in upstate NY and they go to the city often. I will have to tell them to be sure and go to these gardens!
I could sit by the water garden looking at those beautiful lilies for hours....they would make a beautiful watercolor!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Pat, I love the waterlilies and I send my whole hearted congratulations to you and your family on your daughter's engagement!
Lovely tour. I had to go to the site, then the wiki, and back to investigate the Palm House. Just beautiful.
Happy Pink Saturday!
Oh, I do regret missing the BBG on our last trip to NY! Beautiful!
Thanks for the side trip to the rose garden, too!
Happy Pink Saturday!
hello and nice to meet you. this is my first visit to your lovely blog. I love botanical gardens and hae not been back to NY for almost 30 years. I will visit again. Happy Pink Saturday to you.
Lovely work, Pat. We were talking about your blog yesterday. About how beautiful your posts generally are. Were your ears tingling? :)
Beautiful pink post Pat and how wonderful your daughter got engaged to get married. You lucky mother who can go shopping for the bride to be. Congratulations.
Have a nice weekend
I'm a garden and conservatory addict, so thank you for feeding my jones! Great water lily shots!
I love water lilies. This year the decorator show hous featured a lotus pond. Can you even imagine being able to take coffee by the pond? The house also featured and incredible rooftop garden and I really cant imagine which I'd prefer. Love the roses and clematis pictured too.
Nature does pink like no one else....
All the blooms just lift my heart! What is it about water lilies that bring one tranquility?
