Trentham Gardens Meadow

This area of the gardens was woodland not very long ago. It had been hastily planted in 1976 after a fire. With plans to commemorate Lancelot Capability Brown's tercentenary next year, the area was cleared except for the enormous pines and redwoods. This meadow was then seeded. A few weeks later the results do not disappoint. There's meant to be a succession of flowers until December. Click here for a report from a local BBC reporter

You get a better idea of the scale if you look large!

So, it's not just one flower for Flower Friday it's a whole meadow!

I have added a couple of close ups of specific blooms within the meadow as extras.
