Let's escape the cold and enter onto an indoor world of flowers.

George Eastman ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year between 1905 and 1932. The orders were mostly for tulips, narcissus, and hyacinths for his gardens, and some for indoor forcing (tricking bulbs to bloom out of season). Eastman’s bulb orders were inspired by the flower fields he saw while bicycling through the countryside during a trip to Holland in 1895.  A nod to those original orders, the annual display features thousands of colorful tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, amaryllis, and spring annuals, throughout the historic mansion. Tropical orchids, courtesy of the Genesee Regional Orchid Society, are displayed as well. We'll eat lunch in the museum's Cafe before heading back to S.U. Tickets are $9 for students, $23 for adults and $21 for Seniors (65+). SEE:
