Flowers for a Dreary Day


Yesterday was filled with sunshine and beautiful autumn scenes.  Today? Rainy, damp and dreary! There is only one way to lighten one's spirits. . . looking at the natural beauty of flowers.  Again, here are a few lovely plants from the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park in St. Paul.

    Very pretty! The weather here is rainy and dreary too, but behind it is some relief from the heat and humidity, so I'll take it.

    I spent some happy days at Como Park in my distant youth.

    I could say the same thing about our weather - yesterday a lovely warm sunny day, today still warm but cloudy and dreary and yucky. Fortunately we also have flora that helps brighten things up! Keep smiling. Are you heading to Santa Fe this winter?

    Thanks for the spot of brightness on a dull day here too. No rain yet but very cloudy!

    It's amazing how the weather can change so drastically from one day to the next Kate, but flowers do brighten up every day ✨

    I don't like drab cold days either. Pretty flowers.

    We're experiencing similar weather.
    These flowers actually look tropical to me. I thought for a moment you'd escaped to somewhere exotic. I guess you did but returned to your own bed that night.
