In the Young garden, there are many different iris in bloom. One can read about the cultural use of iris in the book provided in the garden. That is a nice touch for a visit.

Cornell Botanical Gardens on 6.6.12
A must see is the huge flower of the Gigantic Magnolia flower that is in bloom on a tree in the Botanical Garden, right behind the Lewis Building. Lewis himself obtained a seed for this tree in 1963 from its native habitat in the South. The tree has survived here due to the micro climate of a protected area between the Lewis building and the Rhododendron Knoll.

In the herb garden, there are three types of poppies in bloom. Although it was mid day when I took these pictures and the wind was starting to ruffle the flowers, I was able to obtain some decent images.
