Tip toe through the tulips part 2

Standard

I did get to Longwood Gardens this afternoon! What a site to behold! The tulips, snapdragons, Painted Daisies, Columbine, etc, etc are fabulous.Here is the link to my Flickr slideshow. I sure hope heaven looks like this:

And these sea of white, which I got to see planted last fall:

Bulbs ready to plant

And I never venture that much to the lake part, and it’s so serene. (Something in this shot will be my Photo Hunt tomorrow!)

At the one end are the Italian Water Gardens, but I didn’t photograph them today because I was looking for this:

One of the new tree houses! I did go inside, but didn’t shrink down the photos, but watch for them in my Flickr sideshow. It’s all wood and pretty diamond style lattice windows.

Then I was looking for the other tree house and felt very small and alone:

This is the meadow and you aren’t seeing the entire area!

So I had a nice work out because the other tree house was down the path more. I didn’t add photos of it because they are rather dark.

I will leave you with some Columbine that was planted around a fountain:

I did buy some seeds, a drawing book and some Brandywine potpourri!

  1. ohhh, what lovely photos. Longwood is magnificent.

    I did a bit of planting, some pansies, alyssum, marigold, sedum, gerber daisies.
    Barbara planted a golden leaf yucca in her brothers memory, she wants to add a tree a year.
    I planted a pretty orange mini rose, next to the other tree we have for him.
    Oh, and we got good news today, Barbara is expecting a baby boy, Sept. 10th.
    Big brother Joe was elated, Jessica was not. She said it will be a girl when it pops out.
    We are all happy it is a boy, one Princess in a family is enough. They are planning on the name Jason Michael, (maybe spelled Jayson) but of course that can always change.
    We are planning an Easter Egg hunt for Sunday as the weather was to cold in March, but now it looks like it is supposed to rain, so I don’t know if we will go through with it. 16 kids are expected with their parents.
    On that note, I have to head to the sewing machine.
    Good Night. Keep up the good work with those photos.
    hugs, Angela
