Colour returns!

The rhododendrons in Benmore Gardens have been giving us bursts of colour for over a month now, as have the magnolias, but this wonderful gathering of colours was made possible by the tree that has come into leaf in the centre of this group, as well as the lovely delicate green of the one on the right.

The garden was quiet today - the buses had all gone, the workforce were knocking off for the day, and we had the place to ourselves - just us, the birds and a squirrel.
