Aloha to the Winterthur Museum and Yuletide Decorations (part 2)

Continuing our tour of the Winterthur Museum, home of Henry Du Pont in Delaware (link),

Glimpse into activities such as the afternoon gift opening in the Marlboro Room, early evening caviar and cocktails, dinner in the glittering du Pont dining room, midnight card games, and dancing—all set against the backdrop of spectacular decorations and magnificent floral displays, which H. F. du Pont called “the Christmas Show.”

Outside on the enclosed glass patio, pointsettias bloom in the sun.

Inside, we found several themed trees ...

... in all colors ...

... including the floral tree to represent Du Pont's interest in horticulture.

Here's tea service in the house ...

... and tea service at the visitor's center.  We enjoyed yummy treats!

Do you have a favorite tea flavor or tea treat?  One randomly selected commenter from this week's posts wins a book choice from my convention stash.  Comments are open through Saturday, January 3, 10 pm in Baltimore.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, January 4, at SOS Aloha.
