Smith greenhouse on another snow day

So amazing to be in a warm airy space with dripping tropical plants when it is sleeting outside.

Blooming orchids and who knows what?




























This is Fragrant Olive which smells delightful; fruity and tropical. All of New Orleans smelled like blooming Fragrant Olive when Rob and I went down there to elope many years ago on Valentine's Day. Love to smell their sweet dense fragrance in chilly Massachusetts.






Cotton!! I've never seen cotton!





















Rob and Lily pulling a Homer/Bart move. The girls spend alot of time watching The Simpsons when I'm at work. Oh well....





Imagine the bug or moth this was made for!!
























Achingly beautiful Camellias.

I love these and stole a moment with them in their temperate hallway before the greenhouse closed.






















We felt refreshed after our little visit to a warmer climate.
