The roses are really having a productive season.
A Classic Rose

Filling In the Green Wall
Now that the warm-weather season is well and truly here, the sidewalk garden is fully engaged, with more than fifty feet of green shrubs, grasses, trees, and flowering plants brightening up this stretch of West 106th Street.
Tower of Honeysuckle
The honeysuckle seems to be happy about having been repotted into a larger container at the start of the season, and is throwing out even more of its crazy flower clusters than it did last year.
Roses Are Red
A plethora of roses in our sidewalk garden.
Return of Sweet William
Our first flush of pinks!
Woah, it’s Woad!
So many tiny yellow flowers — the woad is in bloom!
Sweet Spring Honeysuckle
The honeysuckle in our urban sidewalk garden put out its first blooms this weekend — ridiculously complicated and showy, and deliciously fragrant.
(I repotted this into a larger container at the start of the season, which I hope will give its roots the space they need for the next stage of growth.)
First Blush of Roses
Our first roses of the season opened on Monday to catch a bit of the late-afternoon sun.
Tulip Sunburst
A good showing from the tulips on the steps of 217 W 106th St.
Profusion of Violets
The violets are still going strong, although they are so demure I expect only a few people have noticed them.
