One of the highlights of fall for flower lovers in the Washington DC area is the Chrysanthemum Show at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Every November, the Longwood Conservatory is filled with spectacular chrysanthemums. They usually have some large displays such as the 1000 bloom Chrysanthemum and the Chrysanthemum shields. These are always wonderful to see, but my favorite part of the show is taking close up photos of the mums.
I thought I’d share some of my photos from the 2018 Chrysanthemum show with you today.

I think Evening Glow and Vienna Waltz Chrysanthemums were my favorites this year. It’s always fun to see what new varieties Longwood Gardens puts on display during the annual Chrysanthemum show. I can’t wait to see next year’s show.
Do you have a favorite variety of chrysanthemum? If you do – can you let me know in the comments below so I can keep an eye out for them when I’m out photographing chrysanthemum.
