I was minding my own business I swear I was.. taking pictures of some lotus at The NY Botanical Gardens up in The Bronx. The I hear yo yo bud in the heaviest New Yawkese accent a cross between Bugs Bunny, Anne Bancroft, Yogie Bera and Penney Marshall ..yah get the Picture. Then out of the lilly pads I hear it again Yo bud No Pictures>
Well A my name aint Alice so I musn't have fallen down a rabbit hole on the way in. Then I hear a horrible rendition of New Yawk New Yawk 
The one fish looks right at me and says wait-a-minute bud we do a great Sinatra and he starts in with shoobee dobee doo 
I walked away and sat by the edge of the pond and said I must be losing my mind when I hear Buddy Hacket say did yah hear the one about the blue eyed Koi 
All and all I had a great day The Yankees won and I took a million pictures maybe you could deal with 40 or 50 in the link...many beautiful roses |

| The pictures and narrative are great! How do you remember all of the names of the flowers? If you aren't a professional photographer, you should be!! Thanks!!! |
|
| Most of the flowers I know from going back year after year I also have a pretty good memory for roses just can't find my keys. Thanks for the compliment I'm not a pro! |

| Incredible pics. Loved the story. Thanks. Valerie |
|
| I just love Koi. Before my Dad started showing roses he and I showed Koi. If you think dragging rose blooms around is hard, try it with a fish! Trish PS: I can actually hear those accents too. Scary. |
|
| I loved all the beautiful pictures. 'Fragrant Lace' and 'Leweson Gower' were particularly stunning. It did look like a perfect day--thank you for recording and sharing it. |
