Floral Friday – FF#86 – Water Lily
Whilst visiting Bateman House, in East Sussex, there are water features which host the most beautiful water lilies, I’ve ever seen. Graceful, white petals peaked amongst their green pads, each with a vivid yellow eye at their centre. Submerged in their basin of cool, still water, their colours seem to enhance the surrounding sounds of…

Floral Friday – FF#85 – Lily
Whilst strolling around Wakehurst Place in West Sussex, back in 2015, we came across a beautiful lily. The Himalayan lily. What inspired me about this particular lily was the deep, intensive colour of the centre of the lily which consists of a deep maroon. This was framed by delicate, soft white petals and green, upright…

Floral Friday – FF#83 – Rosebuds
You don’t have to photograph just the front of the flower, sometimes the rear of a flower has hidden gems, like the rosebuds in the following image.

Floral Friday – FF#82 – Crocuses
One thing I love about spring is that spring is the start of the flowering season. Yes, there are shrubs that bloom in winter. However, when you start to see spring flowers, you know that the weather is hopefully getting warmer, and the sun is going to shine longer. Crocuses, you just can’t beat a…

Floral Friday – FF#81 – Cornflower
Back in 2020 finally when they lifted lockdown, we visited Rosemoor gardens in Devon. And it was whilst driving around these beautiful gardens on a mobility scooter – oh boy was that fun, calamity strikes again – that I spotted this beautiful silky blue cornflower. Believe me trying to turn around one of those huge…

Floral Friday – FF#80 – White Flowers
There is just something about this image that just caught my eye… But I don’t really know why. Was it the abundance of the flowers? Could it be the neatness of the petals? All I know as soon as I saw this bunch of white flowers I had to take the shot. Camera Settings Camera:…

Floral Friday – FF#79 – Narcissus Avalanche
Even the backs of flowers have their hidden charm. Take this Narcissus Avalanche for instance… I just love how the yellow seems to go through the centre of the flower.

Floral Friday – FF#78 – Daffodils from Marle Place
Back in 2015 we wanted to visit somewhere different. It had to be sort of locally and within Kent. Google gave us a select of gardens to visit and one of those places was called Marle Place near Brenchley in Kent. As we paid our fee to get in, the lady behind the counter told…

Floral Friday – FF#77 -Agapanthus from Alcatraz
When in San Francisco, part of our tour was to Alcatraz. God was that a choppy boat ride. Alcatraz left me with a cold feeling. We were told a lot by the tour guide, its history, purpose and the quality of life for prisoners. And to think prisoners, could smell the food being cooked in…

Floral Friday – FF#76 – Solitude Rose
One of the gardens I love to visit in last spring early summer is the rose garden at Nymans. As you walk into the gardens the fragrances of the beautiful roses being grown, are such a beautiful smell. However, visiting in late October, the rose garden was bare, the roses were getting prepared for their…
