Many people will visit the Promenade and miss half the view. Hanging on the harbor side fence admiring the spectacular view of the skyline they fail to look back over their shoulder and see the flower gardens on the inward side.
The gardens extend the full length of the Promenade from Remsen Street to Orchard Street and are punctuated at every entry with small pocket gardens. They change constantly depending on the season. Presently the Iris are just past their peak.
I view the flowers in several different ways. Sometimes I see them as large groups of color. Other times I see them as compositions and groups of specific blooms. This time I searched amongst the thousands of flowers to find the most perfect blooms.
