Longwood
Christmas Colors The day after Thanksgiving 2010 we toured Longwood
Gardens and captured colorful photos of the annual Christmas
display. A combination of flowering hydrangeas, poinsettias,
amaryllis, cyclamen and narcissus make for an especially spectacular
view. Enjoy these photos of the colorful blooms we enjoyed and
consider a visit to Longwood so you can take a look for yourself. |
