Hi Lauw, Provided the weather cooperates and there's no snow, the Boston Public Garden is always beautiful in the spring. The Arnold Arboretum, which is not too far from the downtown area is also quite beautiful this time of the year. Both locations have wonderful both formal and informal beds of many types of bulbous plants and some look as if they've naturalized over the years, particularly at the Arnold Arboretum. A few years back I was driving by the there and I noticed an absolutely beautiful sea of blue. I had to stop what it was. It turned out to be an incredible naturalized bed of scilla siberica that was just a happy as could be and flowering in full force. Boston is a fun city and I do hope you enjoy it.

As being interested in bulbs and gardens is there any thing in that area which I should not miss. We are essentially on non-plants business, but I could persuade my travel mates to make a plant deviation. Please contact me privately.
