Longwood Gardens

We have Yearlong Passes for 
and go each season to enjoy the changing displays.
We went on Saturday one of the last days of the Orchid display 
and I am so glad we did not miss it.

This beautiful archway at the entrance of the conservatory is made completely from orchids.

Forsythia

Orchids,

hanging from the ceiling shaped into balls.

An Orchid curtain.


Greenery - mixed with Orchids.

The floor in this area is water...the Orchid curtain is off in the distance.

and one of us together.
When it is crowded in the gardens, they do not allow tripods,  
so I try to find people who look bored or friendly people
to snap one of us together.
Then I offer to take a picture for them, it usually works out pretty well!

Imagine the person who grows and tends this as their job. Imagine if this was your office!

These gardens must all be housed in glass buildings?
It seems far to cold this time of year for those blooms.
It sure is a beautiful place.

I have orchids today , but you have those and so much more. Such a beautiful place. I particularly loved the forsythia bush in full bloom. Our daughter's name is Cynthia and that bush in our Oregon yard used to bloom right around her birthday --- she used to think it was called 'ForCynthia" (we might have encouraged her to think that ;>))...... Was just talking to her earlier today and she texted me some pictures of her spring blooms. (Getting a bit homesick here, but the orchids helped!! That and my warm dry feet.) Thanks for sharing this season at Longwood. It's a wonderful place.

Oh thanks for sharing, your pictures are just beautiful, our orchid ended at our gardens too and we never got there to see it, so it was so nice to see such beautiful flowers on this dark and dreary day!! I love the orchid curtain and I have never seen a blue poppie, so beautiful! Our garden doesn't allow tripods either on special events, great pics of you both!

Of course, my very favorite photos are of you and the two of you. I love that you will ask individuals to take your photo;; we do the same sometimes. It's so fun to have a picture together. You are such lovebirds for sure. The photos are stunning. I think my very favorite this time is the Blue Poppies. It's mainly because it is my favorite color. Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way!
