A Walk In The Park

Let's hear it for Nick Straker. I'm willing to bet that you haven't played that lately.

We were out today with S. A trip to the Palmengarten in Frankfurt. S's father was the Director of these gardens for 25 years and I can vouch for the fact that he did a rather exellent job. Also it meant that S has a rather wonderful key that let us sidestep the queues and just nip in through a sidegate. Stuff like that doesn't usually happen to me.

After that it was all a bit of a Blur in Blumenland. I loved it all; rowing on the lake, the Moai, the little railway, the Orchids, the Tai Chi Goose, the Palms, the Camellias, the Magnolias - it was great. If you'd been there you'd have enjoyed it too.

This was one of the awfully pretty flowers that we saw. I checked in my Big Book Of Purdy Flowers when I got home and can quite confidently tell you it's a Red Flower.
