Sean and I went today-the most humid day so far. We were really sticky. I did manage to get some excellent shots. I have to start going there every week and writing down the names of plants. I also need not to have my photo taken when my hair needs attention (I went to the hairdresser right afterwards). You won’t be seeing that one-ugh!
These are called Painted Tongue or Salpiglossis
I like the contrast of the deep purple and the light green
In the conservatory-it’s tropical and not in my flower book.
And the main reason for my visit was to see the orchids. This is a wall of them in the main conservatory:
