Culzean not Ayr Flower Show

Linda nice walled gardens .

Its years since last I saw these.

So was nice to see again Thank you.

And Thalia a nice fuchsia used to have that one many yrs ago but sadly lost it over the yrs to a cold winter.

A nice day out.

Very impressing borders full of summer colour.
I wonder how they keep everything upright. Good staking or interplanting?

We went to Culzean last year and loved it.....the castle and the gardens, the house is fascinating too.....making gas from coal technology kept the men happy while I absorbed the gardens....
I,d love to go back.....
Have you been to Drumlanrig?
We really enjoyed thst too

They have a mesh system the full length of the border. I tried it once but it was difficult to weed and make changes Costas. I had Thalia before Kath. It grew really big and the contrast between leaf and flower is beautiful.
We thought a lot of growers probably couldn't afford the fee. We paid £14.00 each to get in and that was a concession ticket. It is a three day event, so it must be costly for the growers. They have invited cooking demos, singing acts food stalls and garden extras. Just not enough companies who specialise in plants Bilbo.

I liked the way those Cacti were set out. Really attractive.

I think we need to visit Drumlanrig Castle. It look wonderful Pam.
Barry liked the Cacti too Diane. He had the camera so this is his choice. The Lilies, Streptocarpus and the Alliums were nice too.

Awesome borders and I do love those bonsai and cacti displays, looks like a wonderful place to visit!

In the past Louisa it has been great but I felt it was not worth the entrance fee this year. Culzean is fantastic...it is National Trust.

I'm glad you had an enjoyable day in the end.
I would have taken photos of the cacti too :o)

Funny you should say that Hywel ....Barry said we should photograph the Cacti for you. :0))

Thank you Barry :o)

Drumlanrig is owned by the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, I,d say no expense spared
There is a high terrace where youlook down on beautiful pattererned carpet bedding.

those borders are amazing - how much work it must take to make something look this "casual"!

Sounds wonderful Pam.
My friend Barbara called them inspirational Fran. The gardener there was very helpful too.
Barry says you are welcome Hywel.
