Here's Spring Blooms Part 2 [View all]

Photos taken during my visit to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA, yesterday (04/15/2025).
Link to Part 1: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036143321

While Longwood has thousands of cultivated species of flowers, it's also home to many species of native wildflowers in its meadows and forest sections:

Trout lily (Erythronium americanum)

Bloodwort (Sanguinaria canadensis)

Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica)
