Spring Display At Brookside Gardens Conservatory

During the winter months, a perfect place to visit with camera in hand is the Conservatory at Brookside Gardens to see the Spring Display exhibit.  It is great to have a preview of the spring colors on a cold winter day in Montgomery County, Maryland. www.brooksidegardens.org

Please make you comments when you select a favorite picture and do share your photographs from your own community. It is good to get a little exercise walking through the neighborhood and visiting the special spots in the area.

I used my Canon PowerShot G11 camera for these photographs.

Hi Roy - Wow! These are exquisite! A really great reminder that Spring will eventually be melting the snow and helping all the flowers bloom again. Below is a photo of my African violets in bloom. I really love having some plants bursting with color when we're covered by several feet of snow!

Roy - as an avid gardener, it always cheers me up to see your beautiful pictures of flowers, especially since my garden won't be blooming for several months!
