Surround yourself with flowers at Longwood Gardens

Surround yourself with flowers at Longwood Gardens 

Longwood Gardens is a wonderful place to visit at any time of the year. It is about 127 miles from Kentlands, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The current exhibit in the Conservatory is Orchid Extravaganza. It is well worth the trip to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania to see this show. The pictures in this group were taken by my wife, Dolores Kelley.

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

Dolores and Roy Kelley visited Longwood Gardens on Saturday, February 12, 2011 for the Orchid Extravaganza exhibit. Canon PowerShot S90 camera. Photograph by Dolores Kelley.

Hi Roy.  I tried to pick one of those daffodils but just couldn't get it through my screen. Here is a bleeding heart from my house.

Thanks, Vegas Bob! As we watch the dark sky in Maryland with a current tornado watch, we are wishing for an early spring.

Maggie:  The blue flowers are orchids. The blue is from dye.
