Rose Walk in Winter
Originally uploaded by roflute
February is a time when we really start to get tired of all the snow. Melt already, will ya!?! We have had our share of snow on Long Island this winter and it's not over yet I am sure. February is usually a snowy month. We shall see. So yesterday in my quest to escape for a bit from the snow, I spent some time at Planting Fields in Oyster Bay. The camellias are starting to bloom in the old greenhouse. The other greenhouses have flowers upon flowers in bloom all year long. It was so nice to see some color, some life, plants growing and showing off their blooms. One is able to sit among the flowers and just relax. There is no admission charge right now to get into the arboretum either so it is the perfect time to go. So if the doldrums of winter have you down, visit an arboretum or a greenhouse for a breath of spring.
