So lush! And thank you for sharing the panoply of purples.

[puddleshark]

Yes, fabulously lush! A perfect garden to go wandering in when the day starts getting too warm.

You're welcome!

Their fruit and veg look a lot happier than my poor parched specimens (even with watering, it's not as much water as they need). I am envious of the succulent containers (and contents).

[puddleshark]

The fruit and veg in those gardens are supernaturally orderly & happy. It's a little creepy... 😊

Yes, there was an amazing collection of succulents, all in beautiful stone containers, in that garden.

oh, it's interesting to see the fruit and veg at this time. I usually seem to have ended up visiting there in the autumn when everything is fruiting like mad, it looks a lot more structured and ordered in June!

[puddleshark]

It was very orderly, that veg garden. Almost supernaturally so. Everything at perfectly measured intervals!

Oh the colors!

The Royal Horticultural Society pulling out all the stops!

I know you have other photos here, and I really should look at them, but I'm having trouble scrolling past those HUMONGOUS LEAVES you led off with.

Heh!

Yeah, giant gunnera is a bit of a showstopper, let's face it.
