Flowery Brook

Making an Impression ... ist In the mid-1970s, some 9,000 irises and daylilies were relocated from their home on the site of the newly created Rose Garden to the banks of the brook flowing from the Alpine Garden.	Jardin botanique de Montréal (Archives) Description
	The large ponds and the bed of the brook were excavated in 1937, when the rocky slopes were being created for the Alpine Garden.

Over the years, dozens of peony and lily species and cultivars have been added to the English-style borders to create a magnificent Impressionist landscape.
