seeking spring

The Botanic Garden of Smith College holds a spring bulb show each March, starting on the first Saturday of the month and lasting for two weeks. This morning felt like a good time to visit flowers.

The spring flowers live in two of the spaces of the greenhouse. They are positioned in the center of each space as well as around the edges, leaving a space wide enough for two people to walk side-by-side around the center tables. As it turned out, I am not the only person who is anxious for spring; there were a lot of people sharing the flower's space.

There were many varieties of tulips and daffodils, brightly colored poppies, and lots of little flowers too. I'm very happy I was able to convince myself to drive to Northampton to visit the flowers. It was an early taste of spring.
