I just got back and had love to jump on the computer to check out my shots (this camera doesn’t take any bad ones). That’s after getting the mail and walking Mr. Cosmo around the yard first. It’s so dreary here, but not cold. I got quite warm a few times in just my sweater! There is also a orchid sale at the gardens today through the weekend and I bought two (from a Hawaiian seller) and a neat begonia-all for under $30. I need to take photos of them to show you.
Here are some neat shots. I uploaded my photos and am editing them at flickr. Here is the slideshow.
Inside the conservatory. What are those white spiky flowers?Zoey IDed them as Foxtail lilies! Thanks! They are awesome against the green!
Love any lime/chartreuse colored orchids and flowers in general and these are so pretty next to the bluish purple flowers-Canterbury Bells maybe?
These were some of my favorites with the polka dots!
Some awesome ones near the entrance
I went to the rose and hibiscus room and look what I found:
Talk about neon!
And this is in the children’s garden. We didn’t see everything at Christmastime
I wore my pedometer and I walked 3 k steps there today! Yeah!!
Collages & Creative Goodness 
Those tall white flowers are stunning! I believe they are foxtail lilies (eremurus).
It sounds like you had another enjoyable day at the gardens. What a great way to get exercise without feeling the pain!
hi, love the orchids, I envy you living so close to Longwood Gardens.
I was watching an HGTV show. They mentioned, when staging a house for sale, it is good to put orchids around. They last much longer than fresh flowers and really add such an exotic look to a room, that the house appears nicer than it is!!!
I worked Wed, & Thurs, did some shopping today.
I am working on teaching a class in Homemakers in April. I took the class this month first. It is a greeting card, decorated with flowers that are punched from card stock. So you get a 3 dimensional design on the card. They are simple and sweet. I bought several of all ready punched flowers online, and I bought a set of punchers for myself. I will have to take some photos and send them.
I am working on Monday, than errands on Tuesday.
Homemakers and manicure, pedicure on Wednesday. We hope to leave for Georgia on Thursday morning.
Get there on Friday for my Grandsons 14th birthday.
Take care, Angela
Your pictures are beautiful! đ
Hi Dianne! Those pictures are fabulous-wish I could have seen them in person. Thanks for sharing!
