A hint of spring

As winter drags on, wouldn't it be great if you could inject a little springtime into your life without traveling to some crazy spring break destination? Why not pay a visit to Olbrich Gardens in Madison to check out the 2011 Spring Flower Show...and it also might get you geared up for biking season as well.

This year the theme is "Tour de Fleur"- so you've got absolutely stunning flowers, along with the history of bicycles.

Check out early bikes, including a pedal-less velocipede and the penny-farthing, with its very large front wheel. You'll even see a ‘living’ bike covered with micro-greens.

Of course, there are beautiful flowers too including hyacinths, tulips and brilliant daffodils.

Olbrich's Spring Show is open daily, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., through March 20. A $2 donation is suggested.

 Proceeds benefit Olbrich Gardens.
