I'm Spoiled, and I'll Admit it

orchids at Longwood GardensOK, it’s been great having temperatures in the 50’s this winter. But when it gets below 30 degrees and the wind blows so hard it keeps me awake at night, I need some respite for my weary mind. So I take myself back to Longwood Gardens in nearby Kennett Square, PA and recall the gorgeous orchids on display in the conservatory in the past. 

 

I know it’s orchid time again, but until I can get myself over crane & orchids at Longwood Gardensthere (waiting for a warm and sunny day when the long walk from the visitors’ center won’t freeze my nose off), I will bask in the glory of these orchid photos I took a couple of years ago.

GReat photos and a great runaway. I can relate to the cold. Was 34 when I got up this morning. Not good in Florida. Reminded me why I moved here 37 years ago. Keep it up north where it belongs.

Bill-Seems like we can't depend on weather appearing where and when we want it!

Hi Carolyn, I know exactly where that pond is with the crane that is in your second photo. I concentrated on the cranes in a couple of my own photos. I sure can't blame you in your thoughts back to Longwood Gardens. It is certainly the largest if not the most beautiful gardens in our country. I know there are others but with the trees and the conservatory, it is just such an amazing place. I expect to be there again sometime in May if I can schedule getting away.

It's warming up here too and a lot of bulbs look like they want to bloom!
