This is an old/new post.
I'm borrowing a post-full of color from last March, when I put up these images as a Wordless Wednesday.
I hope if you remember them, you won't mind seeing them again.
But then, who could mind an eyeful of such luscious color?
The original post recently began garnering a lot of anonymous nonsensical comments - hundreds per day - so I reluctantly took it down a few weeks ago.
But now I'm glad, because it gives me a reason to put it back up today!

P.S. Thank you so much for your comments on the previous post.
Much appreciated!

P.P.S. Because I am effectively republishing the original post, I think the original comments are going to come along too. Interesting!

P.P.P.S. This morning I ordered SEEDS!

Gorgeous flowers and the colors are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI said to my friend, Sue: "Let's go get a face-full of COLOR!" And we did! :)
DeleteWherever this is, I want to be there.
ReplyDeleteIt was the annual Spring Bulb display at the Smith College plant house in Northampton, MA. A totally wonderful place to be, for a couple of hours of spirit-enrichment! (Before the next snowstorm hit. Ah well.)
DeleteI always feel I shouldn't be leaving so many words on Wordless Wednesday - OK, BREATHLESS!!!! These are gorgeous - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like them - thanks for commenting!
DeleteGorgeous flowers, I wish I were there, too.
ReplyDeleteMe too :) It was snowing again when I woke this morning. Ice underfoot everywhere. Being in that plant house, surrounded by color and sweet scents and warmth, was a lovely contrast to the lingering winter season!
DeleteI can just smell that delicious aroma emanating from those spring flowers...sorry, got a bit wordy there! LOL But it's true! This time of year we all crave a little cheering up having spent the winter in the color grey. Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment :)
DeleteThe aroma of the hyacinths in particular was lovely!
such glorious colour!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and vibrant and clean! I was just saying to my friend Mona yesterday that the green here is not really green -- more of an olive drab. Everything at the moment is dusty. My poor plants can't breathe from all the dust. Wishing you a wonderful day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteDoes rain come and wash everything bright from time to time? I hope so!
DeleteI have also noticed the different landscape "palettes" in places visited or lived in. It was very dramatic after living in the desert and high-elevations of the Southwestern US to come back to New England again.
Oh, how we need this colour now - glorious!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely! Thank you for sharing, it brighten my snowy, cold day..
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a feast for my color starved eyes, LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely stunning springfullness
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm commenting from my I pad and if I ever press the back button it freezes! Does anyone else have that problem? What I was goin on to say was that our winter has been so cold and looong that we are grateful this year for the scattiest of spring blooms. Thank you for commenting on my blog, yes I found this exercise so helpful, I have knitted a few pairs of socks previously but now I get the full picture!
ReplyDeleteit looks like a spring flower show...love those things, great ideas, lots of beauty and means spring is pushing winter behind.
ReplyDeleteglorious!
You're right, Sandra, it's the annual Spring Bulb Show at the Smith College greenhouses in Northampton MA. Only a few weeks away now, which is hard to believe but certainly a happy thought!
DeleteThis time of year one has to have some COLOR!
ReplyDeleteAgree 100%! Such a relief to the eyes.
DeleteJust what I wanted to see after such a long, cold winter. Thanks for sharing your beautiful flower photos. I can't get enough of them these days and so look forward to Spring arriving here!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed the pictures! :)
DeleteThat pansy!!! oh, just lovely. I went back more than once to scroll through all this lovely stuff. The scents were so nearly there, too, even in pictures. I'm also tired of the grey scale, white to black, no color otherwise of our winter landscape. Well, we do have green here and there, with evergreens and the rare occasions when grass shows, but it's not enough, I tell you!
ReplyDeleteThis is one reason I love following blogs all around the world. So many gardens are full of color - and fresh vegetables! - right now, while I'm still walking on two feet of snow.
