    Ooh, I've never been to the Eden Project but it isn't too far from me. Is it worth a visit?

    Lena, its fabulous, but not if you have to pay full price. About £24/25. 00 now Each.

    If you live in Devon or Cornwall you can get a pass that will last a year so once its paid you can go as many times as you like for nothing. As a OAP I paid 9.50 for the year so can go every month or so if I want too. The domes stay much the same, although watching its progress over the years the growth has been spectacular, but the garden outside are worth it on their own, its all organic,they have a wonderful dahlia display, lots of attractions for the kids. My daughter takes hers every week,  they do wonderful food, a good day out all round.

    I don't think I had any of the yellow ones Lyn but I did have pink from you. Victoria - I'm not sure. I did germinate Lyn's pink ones last autumn and planted the very young plants in the ground. Could they have grown to that size by then? image
