In the Garden #16 – Bearded Iris
We’ve made several trips to Eltham Palace House and Gardens in London, and each time we’ve visited we the florals in the gardens are so captivating. This photograph of a bearded iris was shot way back in 2014 just as we were going from Spring into Summer. Posted as Part of Cee’s Flower of the…

Flower of the Day 30th April 2023
One of my favourite gardens to visit is Great Comp Gardens near Sevenoaks in Kent. When we visited back in October last year, the beauty of their dahlias was inspiring and there were dahlias everywhere, each being of a different variety. But today, on the 30th of April 2023, I want to focus on a…

Flower of the Day – 27th April 2023
I really can’t believe that it is 8 years ago that we were heading to America on a trip that toured the west coast… with our first stop being San Francisco. On our free day to roam around San Francisco we went to the Conservatory of Flowers, located in the Golden Gate Park. With in…

Trio of Dahlias Way back in October we took a trip to Nymans in West Sussex and as we strolled through the gardens, we came across a selection of dahlias in full bloom. Memories came flooding back to me, of my dad tending the dahlias he was growing in the garden. I too love dahlias……

Daisy, Daisy… give me your answer do! There is nothing like a daisy with their vibrant yellow centre which is highlighted by their pure white petals. The image above was photographed back in 2015 whilst visiting Wakehurst Place in West Sussex and I thought it would be a refreshing flower to use for Cee’s Flower…

Flower of the Day – 24th April 2023
‘In ancient mythology the Camellia symbolises love and devotion.’ The camellia is another of my favourite flowers, and at Broadview Gardens, near Hadlow Kent, stood this beautiful Cameillia shrub and an ideal specimen for Cee’s Flower of the Day Photography Challenge. The gardeners must have put in so much effort to keep it healthy and…

Flower of the Day – 23rd April 2023
Cluster of Daffs On Wednesday we took a drive to Bodiam Castle. Even though I didn’t feel good, I thought the fresh-air and trip would help. Little did I know, it was going to be no help at all. And as we headed back to the car, within the picnic area stood these beautiful upright…

Flower of the Day – 19th April 2023
Tulips from Broadview Tulips are so wonderous and have such beauty. Whether they stand tall or bow their heads. And what I love about the tulips I photographed the other day, is the deep maroon colour and how it turns to pastel pink at the top of the petals. These tulips were spotted at Broadview,…

Flower of the Day – 18th April 2023
There are many varieties of tulips available but what inspired this image was their pointy petals as they stood tall amongst the borders of Broadview Gardens. Until, tomorrow, I do hope this photograph warms your heart like it did mine. Posted as Part of Cee’s Flower of the Day Photography Challenge. Wanna take part in…

Blossom
Yesterday, we decided to go back to a place we love.. Broadview Gardens within Hadlow College. Unfortunately, the garden centre was closed down, as we planned to have a coffee and snack in the Garden Centre Tea Rooms. When we got to the Japanese Garden, this beautiful tree was full of blossom. In the breeze…

Flower of the Day – 17th April 2023
Today, we took a trip to Broadview Gardens, in Hadlow, Kent. In fact, we were planning to have a look around the garden centre as well and have a nice cuppa, but unfortunately it is now closed down. The first flower I came across as I was being pushed in that God damn awful wheelchair,…
