You need to get a direct infusion of Spring.
So here's your little shot in the arm...
Now... don't be confused,
it isn't Spring here yet.
Not even close!
I took these pictures at the National Botanical Garden's conservatory.
A wonderfully large building full of light, warmth and colorful flowers.
It also had fascinating things like kumquats, papayas, coconuts, cacao pods, and banana flowers
(which are amazing huge things, but I couldn't get a single shot of them.)
:(
And if you ever get the chance to visit the Conservatory in DC,
make sure you take time to smell the...
big metal flowers?

Terrific shots, and such vibrant colours. A joy to look at since my world is covered in snow.

These photos are like a breathe of fresh air! I am so tired of winter.

Wow....so awe inspiring...I really like the blossoms but the textures of the fan palm frond is way cool.
