I said to Tris “Thon Andimac will get it, I know he will!” Was it the last or second last picture that gave it away?
Bonus Czeck to anyone who can identify the pant in the greenhouse.

Strelitzia or Bird of Paradise plant.
My mother grew them in her greenhouse some 30 odd years ago.

LOL. You’re right there. But then I would have problems with East Coast ones, if I hadn’t taken the pics…. Come to think of it, even then.

Yep, I got it too. The statue is a dead giveaway if you’ve ever been there. Lovely gardens, well worth a visit though I haven’t been there since I gave up my membership over the Neil Oliver thing (that’s a clue BTW).

I’ve never seen the Highland cattle that the article refers to! I’ve I had I’d surely have photo’d them. It has lovely daffs in season and the National Collection for Bergenias. You can only get into the hoose on Sundays and then only pairt o the hoose.

I don’t remember ever seeing cattle in the woods there either, Panda Paws. There’d be no grazing for them there. I have seen cattle in the field across the road from the big hoose though.

I didn’t know where you were, but looks well worth a visit.
You were right about Andi knowing and first to respond.
I did recognise the Bird of Paradise plant, had to look up the Latin name though, Strelitzia Reginiae.

It’s also accessible by public transport – First 4 to Newton Mearns. Has a small car park but it can be very full if there’s an event on.

Like all things it’s getting expensive though if you’re a member of NTS, the fee is covered. I think Bongo gets in for free 🙂
They’ll be more flowers in season by now as well.

Yippee. 4 weeks o0f non stop sickening lies from the smarmy Sunak and the promise of change (what change? No reply SIR).
Already sick to the back teeth of it and I’ve hardly ha wifi or mobile coverage for the last week.
They are both so utterly ghastly.
