Superintendent William Falconer and his team assembled all the colorful blooms of spring for this year’s show, including a Victoria Room filled with ascension lilies, a “Holland garden” featuring tulips and narcissus, a Sunken Garden laden with orange azaleas, and a “Nymphia House” with climbing arches of roses.
