    A sunny, happy, surprise photo! I surely hope that’s being (lovingly) grown in your home 😍

      Ah, no, I wish! It is being grown in Lyman Conservatory, Smith College. If you ever get out to the western end of the state, I recommend a visit. In summer, the grounds are lovely, too.

    So beautiful. That burst of color woke me right up from my winter sleep. 🙂

    Lovely! I could use some flowers in the house here – it’s been so cold, I don’t want to get any for fear that they’ll get destroyed on the walk to the car.

      Thank you, Sarah. Cut tulips and daffodils may better make the journey to the car, as they can take a touch of frosty weather. Also pots of bulbs – hyacinths, daffs, etc. and primrose plants don’t mind cool temps either.

    That’s a lovely Cymbidium! I’m eagerly watching the flower spike that’s developed on one of mine – they take their time to bloom!

      Thanks, Kris. I wish I could say this one was mine, but it’s from the local college’s conservatory. I’m so grateful to have a place to go to see flowers in winter! Hope yours has an abundance of flowers. 🙂

    Such bright little faces! Lucky you to have a nearby conservatory where you can visit these beauties.

    Amazing beautiful Eliza, wow for a color too 🙂
    My son is a gardener too and I enjoyed to see these amazing colors in the wintertime, while I still lived in Denmark, where it is cold most of the year.

    I love irises! I’ve never really seen yellow ones like this before, though — gorgeous. x
