A Summer Stroll Around The Waterlily Pool

Posted in Around the Garden, What's Beautiful Now on July 18 2011, by Ann Rafalko

The Waterlily & Lotuses Pool in the courtyard of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is a magical place. Summer breezes ripple the surface, playing with the glittering reflection of the Conservatory; koi stick their heads clear out of the water, as if begging for a scratch under the chin; and kaleidoscopic waterlilies and lotuses stir gently, like drowsy dancers at the end of an evening of waltzing. The colors and lingering aromas of these exotic flowers create a enchanted atmosphere, perfect for afternoon daydreaming.

Admission to the Conservatory, the Waterlily Pool, and our current Conservatory exhibition Spanish Paradise: Gardens of the Alhambra, are included in your All Garden Pass. Enjoy your visit! And if you take photographs while you’re here, please feel free to share them with us in our NYBG Group Pool on Flickr.
