BRONX BOTANY For their exhibit “Bronx Lot Florilegium,” artists Bob Braine and Leslie Reed identified 57 plant species from a 15-square-foot plot in an overgrown vacant lot in the Castle Hill neighborhood. For seven months, they visited the site regularly to draw the plant life they found there. Inspired by 18th- and 19th-century naturalists, they created a collection of botanical illustrations accompanied by text about the plants’ uses and places of origin, as well as associations people have with each plant. Outdoor garden highlights at Wave Hill this month include Bloodflower, Creeping Zinnia, and Black-eyed Susan.
