EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival drives away the winter doldrums

During the winter time, even here in Florida it can be chilly and bleak. Right now, we’re having an unusually long cold snap, with temps plunging into the lower 30s at night and never making into the 60s during the day. So I went looking for outdoor, watery scenes full of flowers and color and spectacular skies for today’s post. Here’s EPCOT during the Flower and Garden Festival this past May (2009). The Festival will begin again in March – that’s only 2 months away! In the meantime, photographs and memories can keep us going until spring comes once more.

    Beautiful, I always wanted to go to Epcot but the rest of the family didn’t share my enthusiasm.

    Smile. I’m still smiling. The colors in your photographs made my day. In Illinois we have snow and ice. It can look like fairyland at times but it isn’t a contest next to Disneyworld.

    It’s truly amazing that you are having the cold snap, but will still have flowers like that in two months. Florida: the gardeners heaven.

    I feel your pain, we are having a much colder than normal winter too. These photos were just the spot of sunshine I needed today – thanks! Love that first shot, if that doesn’t make you smile, nothing will!

    We were in FL right after Christmas and it was so nice. We just heard from a friend that most of the crops were lost in the last freeze. Horrible for farmers and truckers and all the middlemen too! Not to mention the consumer who will have to pay out the gazoo for orange juice.
