Dyffryn Gardens Ali's part 1

lovely blog Ali, the house is beautiful, everything is so neat and tidy must be a continuous job doind that garden, lovely pics well done,ive just got a bright pink pampas for my garden, still very small and young but supose to grow quickly, i cant wait lol

What a lovely place for a day out Ali and such beautiful pictures. That pink flower is gorgeous, any idea what it is? I'm not sure that tree looks any better upside down, it's a bit odd isn't it/ That's taking neat and tidy a bit too far even for me!! lol

Great blog Ali, and lovely pics :) Hope you both had a good day...it's amazing how many ideas you can bring home with you from visiting a "grand garden" like that...the colours, the vistas, the plant combinations etc. can all be scaled down and used at home... Thanks for sharing x

It does look a lovely place to visit Ali and thanks for sharing your day with us,smashing photographs,not sure about the upside down tree though...........

Very dyffrynt!

What a lovely place to vist great photos

Brilliant blog Ali and nice to see the same place from a different pair of eye's (or camera lens) That tree was a little strange but nice strange, I know what you mean about that lump of wood it is so artistic. And finally that house is superb what a shame it was'nt open, that's just my luck too.

LOVELY!!
Isnt it amazing just how different a blog on the same subject can be when two people write it from their perspective?
I love the lump of wood too!

The house is stunning...as are the gardens...thanks Ali.

You ok, Fluff?

If you really want some driftwood in the garden, disguise it as are: check out the driftwood horses @ heatherjansch.com

Thanks for all your lovely comments guys :o) the house is beautiful San, just glad I don't have to clean all those windows! I love the pink pampass too.
Lily2 i have no idea what the pink flower is sorry, anybody????? please.
Not sure about the upside down tree, it was different but...
odd. thanks Bobq was a bit upset, because the house was open when we arrived but there was a crowd waiting so we thought we'd leave it till later :o( maybe next time. Thanks Mp, it's great to see 2 different perspectives on the same subject isn't, we kept going in different directions when different things caught our eye. Fluff yes the house & garden were stunning, i believe they,ve had help from the lottery funding to help restore & maintain it.
Orgratis thanks for that info, i'll def look into that i just love driftwood. never get much on the beach nearest us (apart from a couple of small branches) xx
