I love gardens, rare plants, wildlife, nature, photography, churches and stained glass, art and Shakespeare. Identical twin.
Love Autumn in the garden, there's a quiet beauty about plants like Hostas and Peonies going dormant and others like Chrysanthemums, Rudbeckia and Asters are at their peak

My local park has a small Arboretum. It was lovely to have a walk in there on a lovely Spring day

March has felt like Winter is still clinging on. So glad I have indoor flowering plants when it's too cold in the garden

All of my Snowdrops are flowering but it's so cold, grey and wet outside it's no fun being in the garden. My indoor flowers are so valuable. This Cymbidium is full of promise
