Eden Project (Part Two ) Inside the Domes

17 comments


Its far too big to do it justice in one blog so today we have some photo’s taken inside the domes…

I’m not really into the science part so didn’t linger in this section for long, I know many people are but its just not for me…
The rest however really did appeal, Hywel you’d be in your element in this bit, very impressive….

You’ve heard of Wart Hogs ,well these are Cork Hogs..

Into the rainforest and some weird and wonderful ones in here..


Then we have some good old english roses amongst Queen Annes Lace….

It had been many years since we first visited and I’m so pleased we went back……

We've had a cloudburst here and walking out from the chilled supermarket felt like walking into the tropical dome!

It looks a really interesting place, and I'm pleased to see your photos. I would have been interested in the science part, but I didn't like those statues. I'm not keen on statues like that, but I think I'd be interested in that native artwork. I'm going to try and enlarge the photos later on, to see if I can read what it sais ... and the big pot with a geranium was fantastic ! I'd love to make one like that lol
Best of all are the cacti :o) Aren't they wonderful ! :o)
Thanks for showing them ...

It really is fantastic, I knew you'd like the cacti Hywel and the artwork interested me as well, I'll go through my pics and look to see if I have more Hywel and I'll pop them in my pics for you...

Its been like that here for a week now Hywel, I retreat to the bottom of my garden when it gets like that, nice and shady down there, our patio and most of the garden is full sun all day and gets unbearable...

14 Jul, 2013

it does get very hot inside which is why my hubby wouldn't even chance going in, he was having enough problems with the misty conditions and rain...
