One of BBG’s dozens of bonsai
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is showing signs of spring—magnolias and hellebores are blooming, but the final bits of dramatic winter light are best viewed in the Bonsai Room, where dozens of tiny centenarians cast dramatic shadows. The room is a great example of using blue-grey paint to give objects greater brilliance. Imagine how lackluster these beauties would be in a white room.
