New York Botanical Gardens

On a beautiful autumn day I accompanied botanist Myknee Sirikolo from Solomons to the New York Botanical Garden. The herbarium has been receiving specimens from all over the world and holds a catalogue of many of the collections around the world.

Autumn colours were all around. Leaves of the elms tree turning to yellow and ready to fall. Am totally unaware of many plants and flowers. But it's great to at least see such diversity, even within an urban center.

Took a few photographs of some flowering plants and shrubs. For those with a liking in natural history, it's a great place to visit.
