spring bulb show at Smith College, 2025

[DeniseGoldberg]

On Monday I drove 2 hours west in Massachusetts to visit the Spring Bulb Show at Smith College. This show occurs each year for the first two weeks of March, featuring two greenhouses full of bright spring flowers, mainly daffodils and tulips but with other flowers thrown in too. I so needed to breathe air scented with flowers. What a nice change after a messy end (I hope) to snow season.

It's wonderful to have a pre-season intro to spring.

If you live anywhere near Northampton, MA I recommend visiting!

This tulip looks like someone took a paintbrush to its petals.

Daffodils peek out from between leaves.

A tulip's petals peek from behind greenery.

I imagine this tulip and daffodil are having a chat, sharing secrets.

Beautiful! Spring can't be too far away.

Beautiful! Spring can't be too far away.

Thank you!

I'm hopeful. I'm finding small flowers blooming outside now.

Here are some snowdrops from a local park.
