The Cloisters January 5, 2019
As promised, a plant-focused brief review of a visit to The Cloisters. Thanks to Stuart for taking and having the photos sent. Though it was a rainy day, eventually visitors, and a surprising number of very young, adorable children, showed up. Free entrance on the first weekend of a month with a Bank of America card.
Though the magnificent art and the impressive buildings and the beautiful view and the desirable site are usually the focus of a visit to The Cloisters, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as a blog of native plants of the New York Botanical Garden, the photos are to entice you to visit. Any time of year, but wait until the spring to be able to appreciate the outdoor gardens. The horticultural staff is obviously talented, which I say after seeing the indoor plants looking absolutely vibrant. Even a flowering bloom (is that redundant?) of a dianthus/carnation plant had a fresh, delightful aroma.

You can find all the history you might want to know by looking online, so I won't do any excessive writing here. Enjoy.
