Over 5 inches of rain fell in
Central Park two days ago. Yesterday by noon by the sun was shining and streams were receding, though puddles remained as the temperature climbed to 70 degrees. Is there anything more diverse than the weather? Perhaps the plant world. . .

| Late-blooming heath heats up the Heather Garden |
Once again Fort Tryon Park called out, in part because I wanted to be on higher ground (That means I needed to climb steps to meet my Fitbit goal of 40 flights per day.) and in part because it was May Day! All of the flora pictured here is in the Heather Garden.

| Species tulips like these caused a financial crisis in 1637. |
Will these azaleas be in bloom by the weekend? It sure looks that way. Bring on the reds!
