white orchids

March 16, 2018

hanging white orchids

The current highlight at Longwood Gardens, one of the top public gardens in the nation, is orchids.  I like orchids, though they are not my favorite.  But, I have to say, on my last trip to Longwood, I fell in love with one of the orchid installations.

It consists of all white (my favorite flower color!) orchids suspended from the ceiling in balls.

I am sharing a few photos of this display for today’s Friday field trip.  I am sorry the exposure of the photos isn’t the best, but they were taken on a stormy weekend!

If you are an orchid lover, I strongly encourage you to visit Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.  The Orchid Extravaganza continues through March 25th.  If you can squeeze in a trip, you will also be treated to a viewing of a rare display of blue-poppies  – currently in bloom.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
