It's Longwood Gardens week at the GPOD! This week, we've been celebrating this fabulous public garden in pictures. Longwood, located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is a long-time FG staff favorite, an infinite source of inspiration, gardening know-how, and of course, great photos.

Day 5: Longwood Gardens’ 7-acre Peirce’s Woods, in early July. Cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis) and great lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica) bloom along a stream under pond-cypress trees (Taxodium distichum var. imbricarium 'Prairie Sentinel'). The cardinal flower is the first to begin flowering scarlet red, followed by the clear blue Great Lobelia.

Welcome to the Fine Gardening Garden Photo of the Day blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning so you'll always remember to take a look, or add us to your RSS feed. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to mgervais@taunton.com with GPOD in the subject line. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.
