Spring in Longwood Gardens

Spring in Longwood Gardens means thousands of gorgeous, colorful tulips.
Last week was prime viewing week, we visited on Thursday,
and there are no words to describe their beauty.
I did mention to the hubs a few times, 
"this is exactly how I want the yard to look."
He smiles, he's such a good sport...he always plants at least 300 bulbs in our gardens, in the fall.
Longwood Gardens is one of the most beautiful places we visit year round,
Spring in the gardens has the most beautiful blooms!




















That's one half of the gardens, I'll share the rest on Thursday!!

Oh my heavens Debbie this is so beautiful; I am in utter awe. I know you love the purples best and they are drop-dead beautiful -- but the daffodils almost bring tears to my eyes I love them so much! (And we never see them here -- so it brings back wonderful memories from when we lived in Oregon). Thank you for sharing this wonderful place.
