Christmas @ Longwood

During visit to parents for Thanksgiving and at the recommendation of an old friend, we went to Longwood Gardens (www.longwoodgardens.org) near Kennett Square PA. A true delight, we were somewhat limited in time, so we spent a couple of hours going through the conservatory. A cranberry bog and fountain display was fabulous, and the principal reason my friend recommended going. A pallet of cranberries (1000#), a few inches of water and some small fountains made for a reflecting pool (minus the reflecting part) to Christmas trees on either end. My favorite part was the Orchid Extravaganza. Lots of colorful and unusual orchid blossoms. It really had me in an "ooh - ahh" mode! Pictures at the bottom of the Blog...
