Eliza Waters 
Glorious!
Thank you, Cindy. Balm for our winter weary souls. 🙂
Beautiful abundance 🌸💐🌸🌺
Thank you, Karen. I love their annual bulb show. This year it will be live streamed so at least we can visit via the internet. 🙂
I’m glad 🌸🌺
Impressive
Thank you, Sheree. I miss seeing this show, closed last year and this due to Covid. But they are offering live stream visits Mar. 6-20. Now everyone can visit!
Hurrah
Yes, indeed!
That’s a wonderful memory, one that can come again!
I just updated my post as I learned that they are offering virtual visits via live stream starting Mar. 6 – 20, so anyone can visit. Mark your calendar! 🙂
Reblogged this on Books & Bonsai.
Smith College? I wonder if we’ll be able to go to a garden show this year? Of course, you live in one. 🙂
As with last year, the bulb show is not open to the public, but starting Mar. 6, it is available live streamed.
The 2021 Virtual Bulb Show:

How very pretty!
Thank you, Anne!
Wonderful. ♥
Thank you, Robin!
Lovely
Thanks, Derrick.
Balm for this gardening soul. 🙂
IKR? This is the second year that there’s been no bulb show, how I miss visiting it right when we’re aching for the Spring.
Wow! Gorgeous! Some of that colour would look good on my doorstep right now! 😉
Thank you, Cathy, same here! Can’t beat that splash of color. 🙂
What a beautiful splash of color on my screen, love it, Eliza! Come on, Spring, it is time to arrive!!
Thank you, Donna. We are so ready for it!
Badass bulbs!
Aren’t they? I miss visiting the bulb show.
Love it!
Thanks, Ellen!
That is a beautiful & wonderful smelling memory, to hold dear (with a photographic trigger). What is growing right-front? Flowers reminds me of Freesia.
It may be Lachenalia, a S. African native bulb. I learned that the 2021 Virtual Bulb Show is going virtual, so any one can visit Mar 6-20!
https://garden.smith.edu/event/the-2021-virtual-bulb-show Hurray!
Omygosh so lovely to see! 😍
Thank you, Julie. Hard not to Love all that color! 🙂
Appropriate for the first Wine Wednesday for Oregonians
Thanks, Greg. Sounds like a good holiday. 🙂
What is it about bulb flowers that makes them so stunning?!? I’ve long gravitated to tulips, daffodils, and crocus … and best of all, they come up every year, without my needing to plant them!
They bloom at a time when we really need that splash of color. They are such a gift, one that keeps on giving (so long as the rodents and deer don’t eat them first!) 🙂
Beautiful. It’s good that they are offering virtual tours!
Thank you, Vicki. I was so excited that they are offering it virtually. I’ve been going for decades and was sad to miss it last year due to Covid. It is a tradition that beats the winter blues!
Wonderful, wonderful colors! I hope that you will be able to go in person in 2022.
Thank you, Laurie, that is my hope as well. 🙂
I do love the colour. Thanks for the links😊
Thank you, Belinda! I’m excited they are offering live stream visits… I was so disappointed last year when it was cancelled.
That’s one gorgeous photo. Thanks for the link!
Thank you, Kris. They always do a great job at Smith, and before Covid, it had become quite popular with folks driving hundreds of miles to see it. It would be jammed with people shuffling along, so no social distancing. A virtual tour won’t have the scents, but still worth a visit.
What a beautiful dose of uplifting colors and vibrancy. Thanks so much, Eliza.
Thank you, Jet. This annual bulb show is such a welcome dose of spring to relieve our winter-weary souls. 🙂
Such lovely colours
Thank you, Karina. I’m feeling quite color-starved these days. 😉
Speaking of Spring… have the tadpoles hatched yet?
No not yet. It has turned a bit cooler this week so it’ll slow hatching down
Very nice Eliza! Enjoyed seeing your image! Brightened my day!
Thank you, Reed, glad to know that!
Thanks for sharing the link Eliza. This looks wonderful.
Thank you, Susie. I can’t wait to see what they’ve done this year… it’s always a bit different.
Wow, what a beautiful and colourful sight for you after living with so much whiteness all winter. ❤
It is a mood-lifter, for sure. Thanks, Joanne!
Nice! I just watched the video of last year’s show. It’s amazing how much they have packed into those benches, and the variety is incredible. A real celebration of spring 🙂
Thanks, Frank! It is definitely a rite of spring for me. Glad you checked it out. Did you notice the Zoom lecture on native plants scheduled for Mar.4 at 4 pm? Looks promising.
Wow!
Thanks, Fi! 🙂
Love your beautiful photo and the wonderful preview cheered me up! Hope you have new bulb show photo memories next year!
Thank you, Susan! I was thrilled to know that while I couldn’t see it in person, a virtual tour will do.
What sight for sore eyes – such extravagant colour. Great that they are having a virtual show at least.
Thank you, Carol. I was happy to learn that it would be virtual, as I really missed it last year. It goes active on Saturday!
Thanks I will definitely pay a visit.
Beautiful abundant memories Eliza🌻🌼💐🥀
Thank you, Stormie!
Wow
Thanks! 🙂
Wonderful!
Thank you, Phao!
Nothing more beautiful than the color of a flower!
So true, Gary and there are LOTS of them at the bulb show upon which to feast the eyes. I’m looking forward to seeing their virtual tour tomorrow!
This is fabulous news indeed!
I just checked it out and it seems they only have one mounted camera, I was hoping to get a closer view. Probably will be fun to check every few days to see how it progresses. Looks so strange devoid of people though!
I just learned that the original sense of the word is indeed botanical, from Greek bolbos, which meant ‘a bulbous plant.’ The extension by analogy of shape to ‘a swelling in a glass tube’ had appeared by 1800.
Thank you, Steve!
Wow!
🙂 Thanks, Harold!
Nice.
Thank you!
