My favourite in the Waterlily House?
Kew – Roses and the Palm House
No visit to a Real Garden…goes without roses or a Palm House. This is Kew Gardens. The Palm House is always a treat. Today I found a new glorious favourite inside…a Japanese Lantern. Lastly another favourite…a delicate noname plant sweeping its feathers around us.

Thursday Thoughts – An Eternal Love Affair
