Spring's coming

It is spring at the National Botanical Garden where the orchid show, appropriately titled Simply Sublime is in bloom.

Passion Flower

There was a glorious passion flower in the conservatory as well. I hope the one we planted last year comes back. I'll plant another one if it doesn't. We're planning a trellis to show it off better.

Meanwhile, sheets of daffodils are popping up around town
while CROCUS rules on Biltmore Street.
