So this is tangentially about writing/publishing since I visited the NY Botanical Garden with Joan Marlow Golan, editor extraordinaire! But it was a humid (not so sunny) lovely day! The roses were gorgeous. :)
And if you get the chance to take the Rock Garden tour, Michael Hagen (sp?) was knowledgeable and passionate about his job!
New York Botanical Gardens - Rock Garden
Heathcliff Rose—literary reference! And so much better in person!
Easter Basket Rose—love the blend of colors!
Not sure of the name, but gorgeous color!
Rock Garden—I think a poppy? But again, colors even better in person!
