Striking Blue at Kew

At Kew. . . .

One of our first hot houses to visit was

 the Princess of Wales Conservatory, which was opened by Princess Diana in 1987,

 but the building actually commenorates

Princess Augusta who married Fredrick,

Prince of Wales in 1736 & who founded the Gardens.

Inside, the conservatory is a huge complex with different levels, home for many exotic & exquiste plants with mini waterfalls & other features.

We spent well over an hour in this remarkable place.

Could have quite easily spent longer there, trying to  take it all in.

A Lazy Sunday At Kew

Thorougly enjoyed a day at Kew Gardens, London. 

The gardens is situated in over 300 acres, so vast, that you definitely need a few days there to fully appreciate the natural delights of nature. 

A peaceful & tranquil place with a huge amount of

 flora & funa from all over world. 

A truly inspirational place.

More to follow, captured lots of photos that highlight some

 of the wonderful experiences that Kew has to offer.

Flowers in Abundance

With a visit to my Mother's,

 I was shocked & amazed to see how her garden was progressing

 as she still seemed to have a riot of colour with her flowering flowers,

 whereas mine, most flowers were winding down for the summer season. . . . .

 here's just a few. . . .
