| Longwood Gardens - Centennial Celebration |
鮮紅得如此驕艷如此風情.
Our first visit of Longwood Gardens was on Sunday July 2, 2006 during the 2006 Centennial Celebration
season. They were having celebrations throughout the year 2006. It is one of the most premier and beautiful
gardens in the world and is located at 1001 Longwood Road, in the town of Kennett Square in Pennsylvania
and is about 20 miles southwest of Philadelphia. If you're into horticulture, this is the place for you.

Very large percentage of men over the age of 50 are experiencing serious urination difficulties due to enlarged
prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)). The enlarged prostate constricts the urethra such that it
becomes very difficult for urine to come out. However, drinking about 8 ounces (240ml) of pomegranate juice
daily is an effective solution to eliminate the serious urination difficulties due to enlarged prostate. It is,
therefore, very interesting for many men to see this miniature pomegranate tree with two juicy pomegranate
fruits. Pomegranate juice is available in most supermarkets.

Three views of a hawk circling above the Longwood Gardens.
While we were walking along the Flower Garden Walk, we heard a big commotion of many crows on tree tops
sound like that those crows were bothered by something. We looked up to scanned the sky and saw this hawk
circling in the sky. This hawk probably was very threatening to those crows.
