Today’s photos are from Viktoria Mullin, who gardens in Connecticut. Victoria had a chance to visit Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, last month at the height of the magnolia bloom, and wanted to share these photos with us. Thanks, Viktoria! I get down to Longwood a couple of times a year, but I’ve never witnessed this amazing display.

    Thank you Viktoria for these great pictures. Our magnolia blooms were cut short here in central NY because of hard frost. Petals on the ground are just as lovely in your photograph.

    Thanks for the photos. It has been a long time since I've been to Longwood Gardens. You've reminded me that I really should take a trip there in the near future. I've never been there when the magnolias were in bloom. Truly magnificent !
