Thursday Thirteen #36-The Longwood One
 |
Ok, get your minds out of the gutter. Last summer, Mrs Duck and I went on a weekend road trip down to Delaware and the key part of the trip was Longwood Gardens, which is technically in Pennsylvania. Please enjoy Thirteen pictures from that trip, though for the life of me I can not tell you the names of any of these flowers, beyond the banzai plant. 1.  These were all over the place. I think they were called lollipops? 2.  3.  I need to do some doctoring to this one 4.  5.  See, I told you, Banzai!! 6.  7.  Plumeria I think 8.  Thank the Goddess that these are bananas 9.  10.  11.  12.  Yep, still Kennett Square, Pa 13.  Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!) |

I just love taking pictures of flowers.
I think 6 and seven are my favorites.
The pic's didnt come thru on my end:(
They're so exotic, well, except for 8 - that one just look wrong. The lollipops are happy looking...bet the bees love them.
Lovely,lovely flowers ! I love the radiant yellow color of #7. I guess it is a hibiscus flower. They come in a variety of colors!
I was just going to comment that #7 is hibiscus. The photos are lovely! :)
Those are beautiful flowers. I could not grow them even if I try, or even name the different ones! :)
You have some excellent pictures here, Sparky. I love going to gardens like that and wander around. I usually have to take my mom with me because she's the only one who really wants to check out the plant too!
Oooh, gorgeous! Don't feel bad--I can never remember the names of plants, either.
Pretty Pictures!!
Love the banzai and whatever the heck #6 is. I think #7 is hibiscus too.
Nice shots!
I'm so glad I stopped by. Garden shots are my favorite.
Love the orchids and the water lillies.
They're all lovely.
Have a great weekend.
BEAUTIFUL! I love floral pictures...and the garden one is simply LOVELY!!
BTW, thanks for popping by my TT!!
Thanks for visting my TT.
The large yellow flower is a hibiscus. If my plumeria every blooms I'll take a picture of it and post it on my blog. I have had it for 3 years so I have my doubts about wheather it will ever see fit to bloom.
Lovely pictues. I love flowers.
Fabulous pictures, Sparky! Really gorgeous.
Our conservatory over here on THIS side of the state has a new show. The kids actually asked if we could do; I was surprised.
Happy TT!
Wow! Great pictures!

Nice pics.
I love Longwood Gardens. It's closer than I realize, and I should go more often.
Not to be nitpicky? But in the native environment? #7 is hibiscus. Plumeria lacks the...err...plunger.
Err...:)
LOL
great shots Sparks. the bananas made me do a doubletake. grin!
Very nice pictures. I love the bananas!
oh, I like the pic of the waterlilies; and the cactus & the waterfall are just beautiful! In fact, they're all wonderful!!
Thanks for sharing those.
#6 is just beautiful!!!
It wouldn't look out of place in a fantasy movie or an episode of star-trek, it is just so surreal!!
