A day out with hubby!!

It looks a lovely place to visit, the gardens look so well kept.What's the name of the plant in picture 8?

This was a favourite school trip destination as a parent helper I went quite a few times,it is a lovely place to visit the gardens are gorgeous did you see the gargoyles? the bairns loved them.

#8 White flower is a Lily. I have the orange Tiger ones in my Pics.

It's a beautiful place & looks like a lovely day out. Wish I could have been there too. Thanks for sharing.

What beautiful flowers! Do you know the name of the orange/red/yellow ones in photo 11 please?

Now why couldn't Wisley have looked like this!!!!!!!!

The flowers in picture 11 look like Salpiglossis to me. May have a different name now. Lovely blog. Super pictures thank you.

Glad you all enjoyed it...I know I did.!!

Pic 8....yes a "tiger lily"....don't have a varietal name...sorry.
Yes Cinders....Pic 11 is Salpiglossis....and it answers your question too Spritz. They are annuals, but are on my list to grow next year. All the geraniums were performing very well...wish I room in my garden for them......

It is a lovely place to visit. Great pictures Aa.

The old former head gardener Geoffrey Moon comes into the garden centre I work in occasionally and a few weeks ago asked for a Lemon Verbena plant. I knew there was probably a connection here and not coincidental as I remember as a kid visiting Wallington and there being this really large specimen of Lemon verbena next to the door of the greenhouse/conservatory that you brushed past. This of course released the scent. I told him that I remembered the large plant at the door and he smiled thinking about it. He's very frail now and I always make a point of speaking to him when he comes in.

As allways Louise brill blog,Just love reading them.:-))

Thanks Eileen....hope you are all well?
