More from the Botanic Garden in June

Yesterday was lovely.  Today is also lovely.  Today I am officially on vacation.  I went back to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and wandered around.

This is a Japanese Maple behind a White Enkiantrus tree.

 

 I think these irises envy the tree that can brush the water like that with its leaves.
When the irises get hot, they can't dip into the water like that.

Trees fighting for light by the Japanese Pond.

 Here's an older tree, hunched over, searching for light.



A Caucasian Fir trying to sweep the needles away.



 

Roses chatting like neighbors, gossiping about other flowers in the garden.

Leaves growing from the bottom of the tree;  is that because it's the only way they can get light?


It's a baby Maple Tree!  When it grows big it will give us syrup!


I think this tree just decided to grow!


 As did a new pine (I pushed it;  it's not just a branch that's fallen off.  It's firmly attached to the ground.)


 


 

Here's another baby tree, but this one with an older sibling.

We're in Brooklyn, plants grow wherever they can.
