You got a little sneak peek of today’s post with yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday. Last week I went to the Macy’s Flower Show with Charlotte and our parents. It was just what we needed to get into the spirit of spring.
This isn’t going to be an educational post concerning species and their maintenance ~ I don’t know much about flowers and plants except that they’re pretty and most of them smell good. So just sit back and enjoy the sights.
This is what greeted us as we entered the flower show venue.
So many oranges and yellows ~ my favorite!
Lovely and fragrant hyacinth.
The ceilings were adorned with these colorful umbrellas.
I’ve never seen flowers like this before. They need to be placed up high so you can see the blooms as they droop downward.
A little, bitty pineapple.
A blurry but beautiful gardenia.
We had a very nice time at the flower show and even walked through it twice. It gave us a feeling of spring even though there’s still more snow in our forecast this week. I’m chilled to the bone by now and am looking forward to some warmer weather. The flower show managed to put a little hope into my heart.

Cold seems to feel colder this time of year. With a deep blanket of snow, I know my house stays warmer when the cold winds blow.
What a nice treat to see all these blooms during this lingering winter! I’m sure I’d have walked though twice as well. Your photos alone make me feel the possibility of Spring…thanks, Sara!
I hope we’ll be able to see some blooms in our own back yards soon. Hang in there, Cindy – spring is on the way!
Spectacular. I love the colors!
Very warming, aren’t they? Hope spring finds you soon!
Oh, it will. It always does. I actually like the cool, cloudy weather. 🙂
I’m more partial to overcast days, and even rainy days too. But I have limits. It’s snowing as I type this. It’s the middle of April for crying out loud!
Here, too!
