Ask The Plant Expert: In the People’s Garden at Riverside Park NYC, I found an odd little bunch of flowers in bloom that were almost hidden from view in our very lush garden. I haven’t the foggiest idea what it is, and I have been learning flowers hard for two years now. It’s quite unusual to me in shape, like a bell with four hornlike extensions beneath the petals. Help! Am attaching a really pretty picture of our little flower garden. I picked the hardest place to get interested in flowers–am crazy about Wave Hill Gardens up in the Bronx, but many of them are rare varieties excepting the wild flower garden. It has really been hard to ID plants there. I hate to bother busy experts, but you can be sure I have spent three hours at least trying on my own between my books and the internet.
