When the Weather's a Dream
Davidia involucrata Dove Tree, Handkerchief Tree in bloom now at Brooklyn Botanic
you're lucky if you end up somewhere dreamy too. I went to Brooklyn Botanic in the early evening for the annual plant sale, but got lost walking the grounds trying to take in all the beauty.
I left with the Guara I was looking for (and about a hundred pictures of the Dove Tree and the lilacs, tulips and on and on) but also fell in love with a few plants in the Native Flora Garden. Now I'm dreaming of someday having a shade garden so that I might grow them.
Osmunda regalis (Royal Fern)
Eastern Shooting Star (Dodecatheon meadia)

I love wandering the evening of the plant sale, often the lilacs are in bloom.
Lilacs blooming? Check. The scent? Delicious. Yes, wandering through that garden is one of my favorite things to do.
