fame is a bee,
it has a song -
it has a sting -
ah, too, it has a wing.
- emily dickinson
hello, hello! the emily dickinson garden at the new york botanical garden is such a delight. a few years ago they had a similar display for charles darwin and i think the two would have made a lovely couple. happy mother's day to the experienced moms, new moms, moms to be, and anyone who acts like one (nurturers).
enjoy your weekend!
xo, cindy
ps have you seen the new magazine from jeanette of fryd + design? it's gorgeous!
they recreated emily's house and had her poems displayed throughout the garden. i didn't realize she was such an avid gardener and was reminded of celia thaxter's wonderful book an island garden.
i'm trying to include people in my photos because, unlike martha stewart, i don't get private tours. plus, people make it more, well, human. usually i get their backsides, but sometimes i'm lucky.
sweet peas, fuchsia, pelargonium and hyacinth. my mom loved fuchsia plants, but had no luck with them. she would bring home the most lush plant and before you knew it all the buds would fall off.
these peonies and roses are yet to open, so we must go back ;)!
the vegetable garden was delightful and so thoughtfully designed. loved the corn.
doesn't that guy on the left look like woody allen?
pansies, columbines, poppies and delphiniums.
i love people in hats, so if you're wearing a hat, beware!
The blues are stunning!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are some very lovely photos. If you go back then do share some pics of the bloomed roses :)
ReplyDeletethank you pj! i love the vibrancy.
ReplyDeletedon't worry ms. owl. you can count on it ;)!
Cindy I think your my favorite flower girl, I love these pics, so wonderful, next time we meet in N-Y I would love to get a photo workshop from you if you agree, really!!!!
ReplyDeleteyour wish is my command, line! sounds like a plan!
ReplyDeleteto lose the haze i sometimes get from digital images and make them more vibrant, i increase the black in auto levels & the contrast. that's where i go wrong sometimes by doing it too much. can't help myself ;)!
Gorgeous photos! And I agree - those blues are stunning. You've really captured spring time here :)
ReplyDeleteit was crazy that day. we think people were giddy because it was so warm and sunny. i wish i could get into the conservatory before all the people to capture the wide angle views, which are so pretty. i like people in the photos, but perfectly place and not too many ;)!
ReplyDeletenow I know your secret ha ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteTo be surrounded by a garden like that would be heaven.
ReplyDeleteI love the shades of blue so pretty! Oh Cindy I think a book of flowers photographed by you, is in your future! xo
ReplyDeletebeautiful, beautiful photos....as always!
ReplyDeletei'm wishing a lovely weekend for you...
michelle

xo
i don't mind line and thanks ladies. i do see a flower-laden blurb book in my future, joyce. pascale planted that seed in my mind and i'm continuing to water it. happy weekend!
ReplyDeletethe intensity of color is amazing! i love looking at your beautiful flowers. have a nice weekend cindy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for these! What a cute house Emily D had. And that garden! Swooooooon. Incidentally, I read that Darwin's family was very inbred, so much so that a lot of family members were sterile.
ReplyDeleteAnd the PEONIES! One of my most favorite of all. I don't blame Scott at all for buying them, fully open or not. I would have done the same. Dang, why can't I find any here. :(
beautiful as always Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI adore hats...I try to avoid the sun as much as possible, until they invent spf 1000!, I'd wear my big hat in the garden...
Happy weekend*
ps:
ReplyDeletecheck out my 1st guest-post ever, hope to hear from you there as well~ thanks*
beautiful flowers looks so cute
ReplyDeleteI'm just sitting here *stunned* at how beautiful all your photos are Cindy :) The abundance and the vibrancy and the combinations - and even your title "Emily's Floral Poetry"... everything is just BREATHTAKING! The foxglove display by the Woody Allen guy nearly made me fall off the couch. I love your mosaic of the pinks, and I think my favorite is the first photo of the delphinium behind the hydrangea, next to Emily's window. I really love her poetry.
ReplyDeleteLove the header too! :)
Happy Mother's Day to you too, oh nurturing friend :) xoxoxo
Your flower pictures are simply the best - I can almost smell them while watching my screen!
ReplyDeleteFlower heaven Cindy!!! Wish I could transport myself over there and feast my eyes in person, but you gave us such a beautiful sample...and yes, that guy does look like Woody Allen :)
ReplyDeleteyour photos and words are so so sweet...oxoxo
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful phototour! please don't ever take a picture of my backside!!
ReplyDeleteso, so gorgeous and sweet too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous garden, gorgeous photos! I want to live in that house -- I think there is something so special about a ground floor window looking onto flowers from a garden which borders the house!!
