A photographic floral tour of New York: park gardens, corner shops, market stalls, the cherry blossoms in Brooklyn, the magnolias on Park Avenue. 160 pages, hardcover, by photographer Georgianna Lane. Abrams Image, 2019.

Lives on the coffee table from April through June. Reads like a softer New York than the one most photo books capture.

A Mother's Day for the mom whose New York is the High Line in May, not Times Square. A bridal shower for the bride who is planning a spring wedding. A new home for the family that just moved up from Brooklyn.

Georgianna Lane also did Paris in Bloom and London in Bloom. Together they form the Cities in Bloom trilogy. Each treats a city as if it were a garden.
