     strange fruit.

    image

     This was like a firework.

    image

     We were all puzzled by this.

    image

     The g/hs have blinds on the outside.

    image

     Between the g/hs are corridors where they grow fairly tender plants.

    image

     We thought these areas may be heated by these vents from the g/hs.

     Splendid Salvias.

     This Hibiscus had an interesting interior with precise 'vents'.

     The approach to the cactus area.

     Am not a big fan of cacti, but I loved the feeling of calm here.

    image

     Weird, a sort of bird's nest effect.

    Lovely pix art - sorry you're unwell. You can join me on the settee image

    I know what you mean about cacti but in the right setting they look terrific. Quite fascinating plants though.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
