I couldn't very well travel to the
5th International Conference on Comparative Biology of Monocotyledons and
not post pictures of monocots, could I? I figured most of the other conference attendees would be covering the New York Botanical Gardens, so I took the opportunity to document monocots in the gardens at
The Cloisters, a portion of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Cloisters' gardens feature a variety of plants relevant to the medieval theme of the annex, including a wide range of plants used for food and medicine. Not a lot was blooming at the time of my visit, but I managed to snag a few shots of particular plants of interest. Shown here:
Paris (above),
Hemerocallis (right), and
Allium (bottom).
I appreciated the museum's transparency in which plants were poisonous (something often overlooked by horticulturists), as well as notes in some portions of the garden about which plants were new additions and how the particular cultivars grew best.
