Spring Flower Show at Phipps Conservatory
The Spring Flower Show is on at Phipps Conservatory for the next three weeks. When we have said that it is up to the usual standard, we have said all you need to know. Above, a pansy. Father Pitt didn’t catch its name, but it has personality.
The beds in front of the entrance are a riot of spring bulbs.
The fabulously rare and desirable Himalayan Blue Poppy (Meconopsis grandis).
The Broderie and its wishing well, all dressed for spring.
Petunia × hybrida ‘Midnight Gold,’ a spectacular double petunia.
The East Room.
A pastel Delphinium.

First of the Daylilies, Last of the Tulips
Yes, old Pa Pitt did plant tulips right in front of this patch of daylilies just to prove that he has daylilies that bloom in tulip season.
Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6. The variety has no name, because it came from a batch of unnamed hybrid seedlings. But every year it reliably produces the earliest daylily flowers Father Pitt knows of, and every year he takes its picture, with a tulip in the frame if possible.
