    Ah, an English gardener eh!

    We *do love our gardens..very much. If you look at Kew Botanical Gardens there are some beauties there too.

    There is also a tropical extravaganza going on at Kew between 7th feb - 8th march so hurry to the airport lolol

    Kew last year, (I think it was last year) started the seed bank for future generations..an interesting place is our Kew. Its also has royal connections:

    George II & Queen Caroline

    Frederick, Prince of Wales

    Augusta, Princess of Wales

    George III & Queen Charlotte

    I like this flower - Helleborus Orientalis. It reminds me of a Clamatis!

    Buenos Noches,

    Plants flowering in Winter can be a bit different here in the Desert Southwest of the United States. This year I filled my balcony with ornamental cabbages and kale varieties.

    Here is a photo of two plants past the rosette stage and not quite to inflorescence:

    Con regard,
