Orchid Extravaganza At Longwood Gardens

Saturday was a cold day in Maryland and we decided to take a day trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. It is 127 miles from our home in the Kentlands community in Gaithersburg. The current display in the Conservatory is Orchid Extravaganza. This is a wonderful show and well worth visiting if you are in the area. We took hundreds of photographs. This group includes some of the pictures by my wife Dolores.

Please share photographs from your community in the comments for this post.
