Chimes Tower at Longwood Gardens
We spent a few amazing hours at Longwood on Saturday. I hadn’t walked to the Chime tower for a while and was happy to see it surrounded by the tender greens, pinks and apricots of trees leafing out and blooming.
I enjoyed the sky blue of the Agapanthus near one of the entrances.
Easter Lilies were on glorious display throughout the conservatory. Legend tells that Easter Lilies sprang up in the Garden of Gethsamane where Jesus’ tears of blood hit the ground.
“Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.” Luke 12:27
Joe thought it appropriate when I posed on the “Queen Bee” throne in the Children’s Garden. As always Longwood Gardens did not disappoint.
Seems the two of you had a great weekend.

would you give me permission to use your Easter lily picture as the backdrop for a scientific poster I am creating for our Easter lily research here at USDA? the poster will be presented at a science meeting in large format print. I love the image and its big enough for a 42/48 poster as the background image.

Absolutely YES. Any pictures on my blog are open for reference images. I also have a Flickr account with free images and I have disc after disc of reference floral photographs. If you ever need something specific please ask. Kathy
