Harlow Carr visit

I managed to get up there in the wind and rain - twins weren't too impressed but at least in the buggy they were cozy...  Lots of 'yellow flowers, pink flowers' emanating from within ????.

So a bit of a whistle stop tour today, not that much in way of colour but the big rhododendrons are starting to flower .

Lots of empty borders that have been mulched and things starting to emerge...

    Lovely pictures Andy. Thank you for sharing. That 'burnt orange' witch hazel is rather splendid!

    Yes, the witch hazel was 'Harlow Carr' - didn't realise it had its own variety!

    Which red stems Aym?  The first orange/red are Cornus Midwinter Fire, next (the really bright red with leaves emerging) was Cornus alba 'Baton Rouge' (a new one on me but like it lots), and the slightly more dull red next  the berried skimmia is cornus alba aurea (I have two of these).
