I had noticed that there was a marvelous coming together of flowers and program at Tower Hill this past weekend. What amazes me is that you were not only in the midst of it, but had time to share it online before heading off to NARGS in Michigan. Well done.

Obviously this was the time to go to Tower Hill! I've visited once late last fall, but there was not a lot going on at the time. Primulas are usually too stiff and formal for me, but those are some beautiful ones! I love daffodils, though, and plant a lot of varieties with orange in them for my husband. That 'Lightning Fire' is awesome! I'll definitely have to check out the daffodil show one of these years!

Yay, 02568! Well said. I am so thrilled that you made it to Tower Hill. We should all support our local botanic gardens.

dear matt
thank you for the descriptions and wonderful pix.
due in part to your continuous cheerleading i made my first visit to Tower Hill the last weekend in April (african violet show, etc.). nice place, and packed!
one would wish that as many "middle american" families enjoyed visiting botanical gardens as asian families do.
our neighbor with a UK background once said that a british child who is not interested in gardens might be taken to a shrink, but an american child would be taken to a shrink if he WAS interested in gardens. quite telling?
all best,
