LONGWOOD: A sea of daffodils

A kind reader recommended that I check out "the marvelous display of Tete-a-Tete daffodils" in Longwood Gardens' Oak and Conifer Knoll (near the Eye of Water), so we went over on Sunday afternoon (after the wind calmed down a bit). She was so right: the masses of yellow flowers are spectacular. The name comes from the fact that most of the flower stalks have two "heads."
Before it gets too warm, stop by and see the early spring display, which also includes

blue scilla and yellow winter aconite. The hillside full of hellebores by the Chimes Tower was just lovely as well (and it was fun to get a glimpse of the progress being made on the fountain renovation project, a huge undertaking).
While we were at Longwood we had fun watching a Lancaster photographer and his assistant doing an engagement shoot. Later we spotted the two cameramen pull into the Longwood Wendy's for dinner: the glamorous life of professional photographers!
