Flower Power: The Conservatory Garden

[TheCatalinalira]

Beautiful video! Thank you.

[blackturtleshow]

I prefer my plants wild, but that's one really nicely landscaped park!!!

[AVDJ]

I checked and I see the conservatory is not too far north of the 789 (11) meeting spot. Maybe I'll start the morning off at the conservatory to warm up, then head on down to the gathering. Or, maybe I will just sleep in. :)

[JimmyHook]

Phil, no one can top your backyard! Hope you're doing well! :)

[ktazzman]

really really nice shots and very nice video

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[dudeanwalker]

I love parks and blossom!

[FantasticBabblings]

It's a beautiful place. Best to go during the week when it is less crowded and quieter, but always beautiful.

[AVDJ]

4:36 is the prixe-winning shot, man. Lucky is the bride who had you to film her wedding march.

[FantasticBabblings]

I never thought I would shoot a wedding!

[AVDJ]

right on, man! those flowers get me every time. for central park, I think there is no better season than spring, although, on a cold winter night, it can be enchanting. Depends on circumstance, I suppose. Do you remember when we met? I will be at 789 (11). How about yourself?

[FantasticBabblings]

I absolutely remember meeting you. I seem to remember meeting you one other time. Were you at the first South Tube?

I will be around for 789, definitely. See you there.

[jonsalvator]

There's a few places in CP I haven't been to, this is one of them. I just love parks.

[FantasticBabblings]

Yes, you and parks have a very special relationship.

[FantasticBabblings]

Yes, I'm still here. With all the grey buildlings around here, it is comforting to know there are 843 acres of green in the middle of town. I love that place.

[FantasticBabblings]

Yes, I'm still here. With all the grey buildlings around here, it is comforting to know there are 843 acres of green in the middle of town. I love that place.

[FantasticBabblings]

I know. I got some more footage of that. In fact after I lingered so long on him with the camera I got icy stares from his friend. Must have been jealous :)

[hartnell114]

you mus show me around in person sometime!

[FantasticBabblings]

I'd love to. When can I expect you?

[hartnell114]

haha,as soon as i can!

maybe, Maybe, september =)

[DearestBecky]

It is definitely an incredible park and the flowers are gorgeous. The music was very nice and went with the video well.

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks. When I do videos like this they don't get as many views as when I opine, but I like to do them. And I usually watch them several times myself just to relax.

[DearestBecky]

You did an awesome job.

[GramsandPapi]

What a beautiful place! I'll bet the Wisteria is absolutely amazing in full bloom! The vines themselves are quite impressive! Thanks, Ang

[FantasticBabblings]

I'll try to go back during the summer when the range of flora will be much different.

[thizizliz]

Oooh, that was lovely. I almost giggled though - it's the sort of garden that makes one picture victorian laidies in long dresses with parasols and gentlemen in seersucker suits; just then, in came the wedding party!

[FantasticBabblings]

I imagine at some time in the past there were people so attired. It must have been really hot!

[soAngel1987]

Beautiful footage and awesome looking place, one of these days I'll get the chance to visit New York.

Angel.

[FantasticBabblings]

It is an amazing city. I hope you can stop by some time. I'll show you around.

[jbre5]

As I always say. you are the best. You show us the most beautiful side of New York , I have a challenge thou , I would love to see ,with your great talent ,some of the grittier sides of New York. I bet you still make them iinteresting , and places we like to see. You are the best We love you

[FantasticBabblings]

I avoid the gritty side of New York lately. In my youth I saw some pretty seedy stuff. Maybe I should accept your challenge. In the daytime of course :)

[logicaust]

Beautiful park, I liked the yellow tulip shot especially :)

Peace Phil.

[FantasticBabblings]

I love tulips. There such a variety and the colors are outrageous. Obviously I love the yellow too.

[davidproper]

Awesome flowers. The colors are so vibrant. Felt sorry for the guy at the end though. hehe.

[FantasticBabblings]

Haha. I wonder how long it will last.

[MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars!!!

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks MBV.

[sunsetlover]

as many times as I have been there I have never seen it

[FantasticBabblings]

It is far North. Most people start at the south end and never get that far up the park. Except for the formal garden, the rest of the park in the northern quarter is denser and a little wilder. But quite beautiful.

[FantasticBabblings]

Yes, and no police in sight.

[FantasticBabblings]

Thank you. Now and then I have to rest after stirring up so much trouble :)

[FantasticBabblings]

It is. And sometimes I go and just sit and read.

[9MaSa4]

beautiful place!

when does it close...?

;-)

[FantasticBabblings]

Haha! Strangely enough, like another park I know, it closes at dusk. But the rest of the park is open until 1 am. I guess they don't want anyone getting drunk and peeing on the flowers.

[scottfaithfull]

ooooh this was wonderful. amazing colours and i love the trees. i need to get back to nyc sometime soon. :)

[FantasticBabblings]

Next time you're here we have to meet.

[scottfaithfull]

yes yes yes! :)

[orju]

very beautiful

[FantasticBabblings]

Thank you.

[kmi187]

Ah spring, makes everything look so nice.

[FantasticBabblings]

I am a total sucker for flowers. Mostly because I love color and floral colors can be so intense.

[OhCurt]

Oh wow, dig all the purdy colors.

Except the brides maids's dresses... not so sure that worked.

Did you catch the bouquet?

:-)

[FantasticBabblings]

Did you notice the groom and his groomsmen had ties to match the bridesmaids dresses? I actually kind of liked it. We had a naugahyde sofa that color when I was a child.

I caught the bouquet, but I planted it in the South Garden.

[wildheart5]

Beautiful, Phil! What does the statute with the three girls dancing represent?

Thanks for this!  Isn't spring wonderful!!!

[FantasticBabblings]

As far as I know it is just three girls dancing (with wet clingy clothes... art, you know). It was made in Germany and was on the estate of Samuel Untermeyer. When he died his family donated it to the park. It is called the Untermeyer Fountain.

[sunsetlover]

FB take me here...... its amazing

[FantasticBabblings]

It changes all year round with seasonal plantings. And most people don't even know it is there.

[333holly333]

[FantasticBabblings]
