Biltmore Festival of Flowers - Project 365 - Day 101

It was a year ago this month that I was in Amsterdam and went to see the tulips at Keukenhof Gardens. I'm lucky enough to live right near the Biltmore Estate so today I went to see their Festival of Flowers. Although not the magnitude of Keukenhof Gardens, it is still spectacular. I'll be going back there again as more tulips will be in bloom shortly.

Spring Has Sprung - Project 365 - Day 83

Pansies at the Biltmore Estate. The Festival of Flowers begins next week - I don't think the tulips will be in bloom by then due to all our cold weather this year.

Biltmore Estate

We had a major snowstorm this past weekend. There was 10 inches of snow at my house- snowfall totals of up to 17 inches were reported in Asheville. I've never seen the Biltmore House with snow on the ground - a totally different but gorgeous perspective!

Biltmore Estate

I am very fortunate to live 5 minutes from the Biltmore Estate - America's private largest residence. This is a great place to visit any time of the year. Not only do they change things in the house each season, but the property itself is amazing. There are various gardens that highlight the flowers and plants of the season. There is an award winning winery and have daily wine tastings (yum)! I went there yesterday and although the gardens were pretty bare due to the cold weather, there were beautiful plants in the greenhouses.
