Though the weather may be gray, the nurseries abound with color, from the stunning coral of a maple’s bark to the classic beauty of orchids. And the “seeds” of future abundance abound in dormant roses, vegetable seeds and starts, fruit trees, and more. Take a look! (And don’t forget that Valentine’s Day will soon be here!)
