Bridge at valley bottom, Sezincote

beautiful :)))

I have to agree with Michaella

Thanks both. It was a lovely place. Went last two years, but havent been this year.

Beautiful. Not easy creating this effect, its superb.

I find it totally amazing that these people had the vision to create fantastic gardens knowing they would never see them in all their glory. We are so lucky to be able to purchase plants that are maturing ..and arent I glad too cos Im not so patient!

Just stunning. So Tetarch, are you saying these people grew their plants from seed?

I would guess that many of their gardeners did..tho maybe not trees..but dont think they lived as long as us either!
About 20 years ago, I gave my father in law a packet of seeds and he said he would sow a tray for me. I put them in the window sill and tended them most carefully until they started to grow a second set of leaves..then realised they were nettles!
We didnt let on of course as he was getting on in years..

Ha ha Tetrarch. I've nurtured many a weed.

Me too Dawn, don't you feel a fool when you find out lol

Sure do Dotty, even if you suspect, you still darent discard dare you but finally the truth is revealed. Its reassuring to know I'm not the only one.

One holiday we left our daughter with strict instructions to take great care with 4 plants....matter of life or death etc (a fortnight she lovingly tended them) they all turned out to be weeds, shhhhh we never told her lol

Thought you were dottydaisy not Meanie!! lol!

Oh Dotty, you have to laugh, dont you. So much care has gone into these weeds, lol.
