Finally, my find of the day. Simply a stunning orchid.

I find cacti and succulents fascinating but strangely unendearing!

Personally, I’m always drawn to texture and form in plants, rather than sheer colour.

On a cold - and often snowy - day, I spent a few hours in the glass houses of the Glasgow Botanic Gardens, and thought I’d share some images. First, some colour on this dull day.

Despite our prevailing climate, Scotland has a surprsingly long history and abundance of sundials going back to the 16th Century. This includes obelisk sundials, which are unique to Scotland.

First visit to the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Kept mainly to the Kibble Palace today, as the gardens were full of people dismantling all the kit from GlasGLOW. Some closeups to follow …

It will soon be joined in the Glasgow Botanic Gardens by the offspring of a similar hibakujumoku from Hiroshima.

I started the day with a tree, and I'm going to end today with one, too. This is a kaki or persimmon tree in the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow.

Part of the new peace garden in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens, which was opened recently to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the dropping of a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima in Japan on the 6th of August 1945.

Among the treasures in the packed glasshouses of Glasgow Botanic Gardens, we came across a fascinating find, a prehistoric Wollemi Pine from Australia. Thought extinct until the 1990s. #GlasgowBotanicGardens #Trees

Love the way this tree stump has been left in place and turned into a seat in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens.

A lesser spotted orchid lit perfectly by today's early morning sunshine in a wildflower meadow section of the Glasgow Botabic Gardens.

The newly decorated 1902 lamp base outside the Botanic Gardens in the West End of Glasgow. I love how this now looks.

Created by John Kibble, it was originally built at Coulport on the shores of Loch Long before being taken apart, moved to Glasgow and re-built at its current location in The city's Botanic Gardens in the 1870s.

The Kibble Palace, arguably Glasgow's finest example of Victorian iron work.

An update on the painting of the 1902 lamp base outside Glasgow's Botanic Gardens. It's all coming together very nicely!

The ribbons have messages on them inspired by the river running beneath it, and a sign nearby invites people to add their own.

Welcome to summer in Glasgow - but at least the architecture still looks brilliant even when it's bucketting down (as it was at times during this morning's dog walk around the Botanic Gardens).

Love the squirrels and the dragons on the ornamental benches in the Kibble Palace glasshouse in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens.

Given the sign on the right, I'm not surprised this pathway in the Glasgow Botanic Gardens is currently closed!
