Garden Walk at Longwood II




The Circular Fountain is at the midway point in the Garden Walk.
The fountain is surrounded by Purple Wallflowers right now.




"Miranda" red peony-flowering tulips begin this section.




And then we enter the Red - Orange - Yellow - White Section of the Garden Walk.
The flowers are primarily tulips at this time of the year, but there are also other
flowers which fit into the rainbow of colors.
