Cherry Blossoms


I thought Brooklyn was an island. I’m sure that it’s an island of sorts, but I didn’t realize that it was just south of Queens until I looked at a subway map to figure out how to get there. I went with my friend Emily a few weeks ago to visit the Cherry Blossom festival at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Entering the park, which was only $5, was like visiting a new planet, full of peonies, jasmine, wisteria and, of course, cherry blossoms. I could easily have moved there. I’d set up my little cottage right next to the rose garden and I’d sit at my writing desk all day getting inspiration from my flowery friends. Let me introduce them to you;



The Blossoms



Miss Peony



Ms Jasmine



Pansie and Her Friends



The Tulip Sisters



Wissy & Pinky



Mrs Wisteria



This is my shy friend who didn't want to say her name, but I know it's Penelope
