Longwood Gardens Orchid Festival Photographs

So it's been a while since I visited Longwood Gardens.  I didn't renew my membership when it expired last spring, and I spent the year finding other places to photograph.  But I decided that it was time to renew my membership and head back.  It's one of my favorite places to visit to relax, renew, and photograph.  Their annual Orchid Festival started last weekend, so it was the perfect time to return for a visit.  Orchids are some of my favorite flowers.  I even splurged and bought a little one from their gif shop.  We'll see if I can keep it alive.  I went early in the morning right after they opened before it got busy.  It was perfect because there was hardly anyone there!!  No one to ruin my photographs!!  Hope you enjoy the photographs I took today.

I think I might buy a little greenhouse for the little orchid I bought since I keep my house so cool in the winter.  Hopefully that will keep it a little warmer.  I'll let you know how it goes.  I hope you enjoyed these photographs.  Hopefully they'll be many more to come this year since I renewed my membership.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday Everyone!!

Until next time...

Orchid Festival Photographs

So I went to one of my favorite places to take photograph's this morning, Longwood Gardens.  It's a wonderful botanical garden that has an amazing Conservatory to enjoy even when it's cold out, like right now.  They are in the midst of an Orchid Festival right now, and orchids happen to be one of my favorite flowers.  Too bad I don't have a green enough thumb to actually be able to grow them.  But I enjoyed my morning there taking pictures, especially since I haven't had time to take many in the past couple of months.

The gorgeous yellow of these just screams "Spring is coming!!".

If a cheetah turned purple and morphed into an orchid, it would look like this.

So gorgeous.  An arch covered with orchids.

Looking pretty in pink.

One of my favorite color combinations, purple and yellow.  Such an interesting little flower.

This one is my absolute favorite!!

I just thought this one looked interesting with the long stems and pointed flower petals.

I hope you enjoyed my photographs as much as I enjoyed taking them!!  Until next time...
