Arlene....these are beautiful photos....so much variety...you must have spent hours walking around the place. I bet you wouldn't know where to look first surrounded by such sights.

It's a special pleasure to see these photos now at this season to remind us of the joys of summer colour. I think Anchorman would approve of those striped lawns! lol

Thanks for sharing such a lovely spot with us.

I loved it at Rosemoor when I visited a few years back. Great to see all your photos to remind me how lovely it is. Those lilies seem to jump out of the photo! Great pics.

I'm a great fan of Rosemoor too, sadly it's a fair distance from us so we don't go there often enough. Beautiful photos, Arlene, love the lake. Ah, really must visit in the Spring. : o ))

Thanks for sharing your day out at Rosemoor with us! :-)) Such a fantastic show of beautiful plants! You were very fortunate also to catch all those butterflies - especially the one with TWO on ONE flower! I can't seem to get them to "pose" for me!

~ hi Balcony~
it was a lovely day and there were lots of butterflies all over this group of Buddleia~ there were some flowers with more than two on but just as you were lining up the shot they would decide to take off so I completely sympathise with you!

I was watching a couple of back episodes of Gardening World this afternoon & Rosemoor drew my attention as it was after reading & seeing the pictures in your lovely blog. They made a visit to those gardens I think on both the episodes I watched.

Lovely blog, thanks Arlene! Lots of good pics, thanks. I went there last year and loved it, particularly the roses and clematis. Thank you for taking the trouble to take the pics!
