Come visit Longwood Gardens with me!!

Alocasia Tegrina superba

Hoya and Philo sharing space

Isn't this pretty?

The palm house...

OK - No more - to see the rest- come over the the Public Gardens forum and I have a HUGE pile of pics there (and lots more to post!)

Looks like you had a fabulous time! Wonderful pictures!

And it was DH's idea!!! Could have knocked me over with a feather. In my defense- we live only about 30 minutes from Longwood and can visit whenever we like. I will definalty be posting piles of picks of the Christmas displays. The warn conservetory was soooo great after the cold November air...

What a nice hubby you have.

Lucky YOU living only 30 minutes from Longwood Gardens! I love the tropical conservatory, especially in the Wintertime when it is cold and snowy outdoors!!

Nice!
Love Tropical Houses in Winter.

I went there last August for the first time and do plan on returning. I will be sure to also see nearby Chanticleer Gardens next time I am inthat area.

AND I didn't realize there WAS a Public Gardens Forum.

Thanks for pointing that out!

;-) No problem! I am hoping Santa brings a frequent visiter's pass for me this year. I haven't been to Chaticlear yet either (bad me again I am really close) I will get more pics up later of the succulents and the Crysanthmum festival.

Check out Chanticleer's website: http://www.chanticleergarden.org/

After seeing it I actually wanted to visit my inlaws again. (LOL)

now I have to drool till spring.....

I've seen Longwood and Chanticleer on Gardening shows.

Longwood is indeed impressive.

Chanticleer is Astounding.
A VERY passionate Gardening space.

We're definitely going to have to make the trip to see both.
