The palm trees at Cornwall's Eden Project were a little bedraggled but, no doubt, they will improve with the sunshine.
We were on a quickish visit to Eden to see what flowers were in colour.
The daffs looked fine as we approached one of the biomes.
Then it was into the Mediterranean biome with tulips welcoming us into the warmth.
From then on I snapped a few photos of flowers which caught my eye.
Here are a few more of the photos.
And, of course, there had to be a bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae).
We then made our way out of the biomes and towards the exit.
Several plants were running free.
On the way out of the Eden Project there was lots of heather in various shades of colour.
We returned home to be welcomed by our azalea. Such a lovely plant which virtually needs no attention and flowers every year
We have lots of primroses. They are allowed to roam wherever they wish as they were my mother's favourite flowers. Oh, and the red brick to the right of the photo, which I have no doubt mentioned previously, is from the cottage where my wife was born in northern Germany. We went to visit the cottage and found it had been knocked down to make way for a new, faster road. So we carried a couple of bricks back from Germany. Luckily we had our car with us!
To finish today's flower post theme two more photos. The flowers were received by my wife for Mother's Day and ...
... the following day for her birthday. I guess our sons must feel that she's done a good job! So do I, of course.
Many thanks for visiting my blog. As the old Chinese saying goes: "If you have two loaves of bread sell one and buy a lily" (or perhaps any flower). Hope you have an interesting week ~ Mike.
