Some of my spring favorites are the tulips and other spring bulbs that push out thoughts of a dreary winter with their scents and colors.These were all taken at the botanical center in Omaha, Nebraska.
This is a different variation of the jack in the pulpits we have around here in our woodlands.
All of my orchids are blooming at my home
Castor beans are a seasonal favorite I always like to plant.
Great pics! I really like that crazy purple flower!
ReplyDeleteDoes this botanical center have outside gardens? I would like to see some pictures of those,if they do. In season,of course!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots as is the case!
ReplyDeleteMy ol` man grew Cacti, it was his abiding passion. Prickly, like him.
they are so lovely and so wonderful to see after winter. I think my sister calls the variety of jack in the pulpit a pitcher plant.
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely gorgeous shots of your flowers! How lucky you are to have such a wide variety, and to be so fortunate to be able to have the chance to get lovely orchid captions.

I can't wait to start seeing flowers bloom again.
ReplyDeleteSpring flowers are a sight for sore eyes in February. Our winter has been mild, but it hasn't included flowers.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and fascinating series of flowers and always enjoy a photo of the host :) I went over to a friend's house and her daffodils were already blooming. I think they are very confused! The weather isn't that warm.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, Your pictures look alot like ones we have taken recently at the Biltmore Conservatory... Love those orchids especially.

ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see all of these flowers and plants. My week has been a mixture of bad, but then good. This helps in my recovery to the good part.
