Spring had sprung in New York. It was one of the first warm and sunny days in March so Emma and I decided to make the most of it by visiting the New York Botanical Garden.
We dressed appropriately—Emma donned her eggplant hat and I put on my sunglasses. We had an easy trip to the Bronx on the Metro North and arrived ready for our horticulture adventure.
The orchid show was in full bloom so Emma and I made our way over to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory to see some stunning flowers.
The conservatory was full of bright colors and strange shapes, Emma wanted to touch them all.This fern was larger than Emma (and furrier).
In addition to the exquisite flowers there was great information about the orchids and their environments. Did you know that there are over 30,000 different species of orchids?
This is the last picture of Emma before she decided she'd had enough flowers and fell asleep, just in time for the ride home.
