Spoon Mums at Longwood Gardens 11/13/11
If you enjoy Chrysanthemums and other autumn flowers, now is a good time to visit Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.  Kennett Square is located just west of Wilmington, Delaware. The current exhibit in the very large Conservatory is the Chrysanthemum Festival.  It is a good place to spend a day for pure pleasure and any needed attitude adjustment.
Longwood Gardens is one of our favorite travel destinations.  It is about 127 miles from our home in Gaithersburg, Maryland. 
If you need a hobby that you can take into retirement, try travel and flower photography.  … (14 comments)

chrysanthemums: Do you have Chrysanthemums in your fall garden? - 11/03/11 12:49 AM
Do you have Chrysanthemums in your fall garden?
In Maryland, Chrysanthemums are among our favorite autumn flowers.  They are seen in a variety of colors and shapes.  The recent Potomac Chrysanthemum Society Show at Brookside Gardens offered a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a large display of blooms grown by the regional expert gardeners. 
If you missed the show, you still have time to visit the Chrysanthemum Display in the Conservatory at Brookside Gardens. Dolores captured this photograph of a yellow Chrysanthemum in the Conservatory.  During this season of Thanksgiving, it is good to remember the beautiful flowers that nature has provided for our pleasure.
