George Eastman loved flowers and filled his mansion with them every winter. He kept wonderful records of the bulbs he ordered, and each winter the George Eastman House and Museum fills the conservatory with flowering bulbs. There are actually about 10 times as many flowers in the conservatory now as there were at any one time during George Eastman's day. He had fewer flowers at a time, but over a much longer time period. No wonder, since winter seems to last forever here!
These flowers are actually in a hallway that overlooks the gardens and connects the current museum with the George Eastman House.
The conservatory (Eastman also enjoyed hunting and brought this elephant head back from a safari.)
The organ has recently been refurbished, and there are Sunday organ concerts on a regular basis; free with your museum ticket.
But the flowers that attracted me the most were the clivias. I was unfamiliar with them, but there bright orange color is simply gorgeous.
