We went back to Longwood Gardens just 2 weeks after the first time….My hubby wanted to see the spring bulbs in bloom. They were a riot of color!
There is a path that you can walk that is called the ‘Flower Walk’ it had incredible numbers of tulips lining the walk on both sides…
We then walked a path through a lightly wooded area…
Eastern Redbud – Cercis canadensis
Lungwort – Pulmonaria
Foxglove – Digitalis purpurea
Lenten Rose – Hellborus_orientalis
As we walked we were serenaded by the bells of the Carilon…
More Tulips…parrot and triumph types
Snapdragons – Antirrhinum by a pot
Virginia Bluebells – Mertensia virginica
Crown Imperial – Fritillaria imperialis
daffodils in planters outside of the Conservatory
Freesia – Freesia alba
Gardenia – Gardenia jasminoides
Icelandic Poppies – Papaver nudicaule
Japanese Pittosporum – Pittosporum tobira
Pitcher plant – Sarracenia purpurea
On the way out we passed this gazebo…..nice place to sit and rest

What a marvellous collection of Tulips! It's great how they lend themselves to planting "en masse"!
This has been another bright & beautiful blog! I love seeing so many Tulips. :-)

The DuPont family was very influental in this area, and they have many Gardens that are available now to tour. During my hubbies vacation in May we plan to see at least two more of them!
I can't wait! :o))
