Tropical colour in Northumberland

Love the colour mix.

lovely colours. was this in a public display??

It's in a bed in front of the glass house at formal gardens at Cragside, near Morpeth, Northumberland!

i have lots of poisenous plants in my garden and they are my responcibility ...but this one is ricinus it is leathal. the seed contains ricin.

They had a poison garden at Alnwick castle.But there wasn't one of these. To be honest, it was a bit of an ordeal. We had to be taken round in a group with a lady talking about the plants. She was a bit of a 'Dragon' and bored the socks off most people, but more of that when I get round to doing my blog of our North East trip. (When I have the energy. I'm still exhausted!)

I too have poison plants , Paul lol Rhubarb the leaf and root, Monkswood, Caster oil, Didgitalis the root,Oleander too, see you could of come to my garden and paid me the 18.?? lol and I would of been more fun, and if you had came on the right day perhaps heard concerts by Take That live, Julie would of loved that, also you and Julie could have had a cuppa free brewed with good feeling, he he, you could of even viewed my girl scarcrows too and my witches broom and witches see thats why I have poisonous plants for , a witch has to have some to make her potions now does nt she cackle cackle LMAO. I am sure the last time I went to the Eden Project it was 14.00 each 18.00 seems a lot. Photo is lovely and the colours too

That sounds like great value Morgana, but you haven't got a 15th century castle in your back garden, or have you???
