    A fellow student said they looked like eyes with long eyelashes! I could have taken hundreds more photos, and desperately want to go back, but we were looking at specific things and having mini-lectures which is why my selection is a bit odd. You should go back, Liri. Bit of a nightmare to get to by public transport though, otherwise I'd be there a lot more often.

    @Jason-3 I went to the Bishop's Palace in Wells, Somerset last year and thought the gardens were glorious. I posted some photos on here, I'll see if I can find them. And a garden I haven't been to but want to visit very much is Margery Fish's garden at East Lambrook Manor.

    Edited to add: Bishop's Palace gardens.

    LG off to Bishop's Palace and East Lambrook at the end of June,  I'll make sure I take loads of photos.

    Oh good - I had remembered that you were going to Somerset, but then thought that trip might have been replaced by the one you've just been on. Hope they're both wonderful! Looking forward to the pictures.

    Visited Dorothy Clive gardens today primarily to see the laburnum walk. Here are a few photos.

    Any idea what the plant with the weird stem with white blobs on is? Hubby thought it looked like an Octopus arm with suckers.

    Great photos Yvie - Laburnum walk looks like it’s been there years, but you say it’s new?  Love that iris too 💙

    Wisley is a great day out - maybe one for a Forkers visit some time?  I can ferry folks to and from Woking station 🚕
