Harlow Carr hybrid 3rd pic

Last photo from today.Its been some labour of love putting the photos on in some kind of order.I think if i took 12 it would not be as bad!
There are photos of the Scented Garden, the Alpine houses, the most spectacular display of Lupins i have ever seen, and other photos that dont fit either category.
Who would believe one visit could take so many days to write about and upload photos via blogger when its behaving.
I have found it more tiring blogging it then the five hours we spent in Harlow Carr,lol.I am back to work on monday and tuesday, so tomorrow is last day off to blog the last few areas.
It works on two levels, a tour of the gardens through my camera lens and words, and for me as a personel record of one mad, wet day.
My first visit to a garden, with the intention of seeing it, photographing it, then writing about it.Hope its not been too bad to read :)

Harlow Carr Hybrids: fireworks

Harlow Carr Hybrids

The Spectacular Harlow Carr Hybrid Candelabras light up the garden.Their bright coloured flowers are almost fluorescent here in the gloom of a rainy overcast day.Imagine them on a sunny day.
I guess this is one of their signature plants.Planted along the Queen mothers lake, Along the Streamside and Beck, in the main Borders, and here alongside the Whale/mermaid garden.
I did not see any for sale in the Garden centre though, or i would have bought one!!
