Conservatory Garden | Central Park, New York City

Tulips in the Conservatory Garden - Central Park, New York City

I visited the Conservatory Garden in Central Park about a month ago when the magnolia trees were in full bloom. I smelled the sweet fragrance of the magnolia bloom even before reaching the garden.


The English Garden is now ablazed with tulips blooming in their glory. I love the "blushing lady" tulips as depicted above. The hues on the petals do look like blushes !


The pictures below speak a thousand words of the splendor and majesty of one of the most beautiful gardens in New York:

A little reading on the history of the garden revealed that this section of the park had been neglected for several decades and it was then "reborn" in the late 80's. I am glad this oasis is here to stay. I can't wait to see the sights in in the coming summer and fall.
