Tulip season is almost over. I love their explosions of color and form!

Looking back at some of the wonderful images from Seattle’s NW Flower & Garden Show in February. It still feels like February outside right now!

Parrot tulips drive me wild!

So much fun at the Botanical Garden (El Charco del Ingenio Jardin Botanico) in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Here is a close up of a nopal cactus. Spiky!

Nopal cactus (Opuntia or prickly pear) getting ready to fruit, I think.

San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has a few rooftop bars with a view. Here are the churches of the Centro viewed from the top of the Rosewood Hotel at dusk on a warm February evening.

This year’s Northwest Flower & Garden Show in Seattle is now a Festival, not a Show. Not sure if their hashtag #NWFGS is still a thing.

Here’s a magnificent Oriental lily, complete with pollen-laden anthers.

Sometimes florists remove the pollen-heavy anthers because they do stain clothing. But I prefer them with a natural look.

From that Florida Flamingo Gardens trip, back a couple of years ago. Who doesn’t like peacocks?
