Longwood Gardens...The Fountains & Waterlilies

water fountains are still dancing to favorite tunes from the 80's, and classical favorites.
Several times per day, the fountains spin, soar and twirl high into the sky.
We were in the gardens and were able to watch the 3:15 performance.







It was really amazing to see the water move with the music.


The Waterlily Court has been closed for several years as it was redesigned and refurbished.
The results are stunning.
It was a little bit later in the day and many of the waterlilies had closed for the night.
I was still able to get "too many" pictures of the ones that were open.
Here are some...


The space showcases aquatic plants from around the world, 
including nearly 100 hardy and tropical waterlilies.


Viewing and photographing them, they did not seem real.




There were so many more, each more beautiful then the rest!
We had such a great day!

The fountain spray and the waterlilies are so beautiful. Such a spectacular area for a stroll, taking in the view.

Gosh, I didn't know water lilies curled up during the night. From working nights, I learned that my hibiscus bloom at 4 a.m. Linda in Kansas
