Scenic: New York Botanical Garden 2

After clicking some amazing pictures of the Stone Mill, we went ahead along the river path to see the waterfall. The way to the waterfall was lined with trees and the cool breeze was heavenly. We were there in ten minutes and yes, the view was worth it. It looked like a man-made waterfall, as the rocks were completely in a straight line but it was a beautiful sight. We again clicked some pretty pictures and left for the Cherry Collection.

The 'Cherry Collection' was awesome with the beautiful and bountiful trees; the place looked like a dream, with wooden fences on the side of one road, an uphill walk and the lush greenery. From here, we went to see the 'Lilac Collection', which had a wide range of variety of pretty Lilac flower.


Then it was time to see the famous 'Rockefeller Rose Garden', which has some of the most stunning roses, I have ever seen. It was like a medley of colors, with roses blooming in all the possible shades; definitely the best part of the visit.


We spent more than an hour in the rose garden, then headed to the tram stop, to go to the Gallery and Lecture hall for the Flamenco show.
