2015 Smith College Bulb Show
The annual Smith College Spring Bulb Show always runs early in March, and Cris and I were able to go this morning.
It is always amazing.
After the winter we have had here in the Northeast, walking into a greenhouse and seeing these flowers is beyond description.
There are always tons of tulips.
As well as tiny little guys like these ↑.
Some of the tulips have these erose edges. So delicate.
I love how these little flowers are lined up in a row.
That’s a pretty tulip ↑.
Though I always gravitate more toward the greens and yellows.
And there are usually a few that are showing off the business parts of the flower. To me, it feels a bit like I’m seeing something that should be private.
I’ll close out with a couple of tulips.
Thinking of Hank, as I know he has a Smith College connection. Hi Hank, wish you were here.

I bet it smelled amazing in there! Beautiful photos, Jon, as usual.
Patty, I forgot to mention the smell. It wasn’t overpowering, but it was perfect. Thanks for mentioning it.
Boy, oh boy, Hank certainly does wish he were there. Thanks so much for this post! Those Smith greenhouses are magic – so glad you both could enjoy the show. It was always a welcome arrival after those long winters. We’re feeling spoiled here with a very mild winter and roses already budding…Hank is sniffing some plant-y private bits as we speak! Typical.
Until you mentioned the greenhouse, I wondered how you were seeing all those bulb flowers so early! dhyan
Thanks for this gorgeous post – you have no idea how badly I needed it, as I head into yet another chilly, cement-colored Northeast day. (At least today’s precipitation is drizzle, not snow!)
Thanks Laura, glad it cheered you up. Cheers, Jon
