Chrysanthemums take center stage at Longwood Gardens, 1001 Longwood Road, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania (map) from October 27 through November 18, 2012.

During the festival, more than 200,000 chrysanthemums are arranged inside the four-acre indoor Conservatory. Cascades of chrysanthemums drape the walls while spiral chrysanthemum forms climb skyward towards a towering, three-tier chandelier constructed of vibrant yellow chrysanthemums hanging from the Conservatory ceiling. Outside, chrysanthemums, gourds and giant pumpkins decorate the grounds.
