A Local Greenhouse - Part 1

The tiny hamlet of Winthrop, NY has its own greenhouses, but I'd never been there. I was told they're only open May 1st through June 15th (or thereabouts) each year. So this year I went to pay them a visit, hoping to find some perennials which I hadn't already purchased elsewhere. I pulled in the driveway and was greeted by this life sized cow statue:

There were four greenhouses. The proprietor told me to have a look around and feel free to ask any questions:

A wagon filled with seedlings and kitsch was my first stop:

Then I entered the first greenhouse and was stunned by the glorious display of color and floral aromas. I decided that this place must be a subject for photos:

There were huge amounts of Geraniums in an array of colors. Alas, I never found out what those vines were in the hanging baskets:

I was dazzled by the array of colors:

Geraniums and Petunias:

More Geraniums:

And even more:

They had lots of hanging baskets:

These were some of the most amazing Petunias I've ever seen:

There were still two more greenhouses for me to tour, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
