I love the Crinodendron tree. It has flowers, seed pods and new baby flower buds all at the same time. A Blue Tit came to get the seeds this morning. The photo was taken on maximum zoom through the kitchen window.
We promised ourselves a day out for our Wedding Anniversary which is on Friday but we are busy then so today we went off to Trebah Gardens, a 26-acre sub-tropical garden with four miles of paths. I think we walked all four miles today, meandering down the valley to the beach and up and around every path in sight – a fabulous day! Join us through the gallery. Click on any photo for greater detail.
Later, we popped into Redruth for a couple of things and were struck by how lovely the hanging baskets are this year.

I think I see a bird where the branch was cut…

Beautiful, lush gardens! Are those plants all native to Cornwall?

Many of the plants were brought in by a travelling plantsman and they thrive in the micro climate of the Trebah valley. 🙂
