Is that for real?

Chuck @Nature Man- they are real roses, but the colors are not natural occurrence in nature- meaning it’s been artificial dyed by the roses intake of water from different cups that is artificially dyed via the stem. That is my understanding of it. This selection must have been left over the past weekend’s Pride Parade, though they seem really healthy still.
 
Beautiful! The black swallowtail we have out this way is called a Pipevine Swallowtail and from what I can remember, it only has a single row of orange dots on the outside of the wing. This one has a double row.

I am a Met fan and you do have Yankee in you don’t you? :nodice::sarcastic: The block and lot is square, but the step design and flooring pattern is radial and curvilinear. Takes cue in classicism design from the Renaissance period, especially in Italy, Spain, France, etc.

I was in the 3rd floor. What a wasteful of scenery this is inside a retail store where the escalator is parallel with the store front and display shelvings block all the glass front…….smh for prime location.

I do follow your thread at “What’s growing in the Garden” Tim @trc65 and I will cover this down the road in it’s entirety of “The High Line” which is an re-used elevated rail tracks that was converted into a garden passage way with all sorts of plant species that originates from the Meat Packing District into Hudson Yards (~12th St. to about 34th St.)
The view of the sky bridge and further south, you can see the Statue of Liberty….
