I hope the little twig that I bought from Woolies looks this nice in a few years time, I think it is just the plant for a large blue pot decorated with butterflies that my daughter gave me as a birthday present.

There were several glasshouses in the gardens, all of which were not open to the public while we were there. This is a sneak inside the door of one of them.

This small blue plant was growing in one of the lawns, I spotted it because it's leaves looked unusual and wondered what it was. Is this Jacob's Ladder?

These are some of the systematic beds, where all the plants of the same family/species are grown together.

There were ferns growing everywhere of all shapes and sizes, this was one of the biggest clumps that we saw.

I think they had built a small mountain range and then called it a rockery! The ferns seemed to like growing here as well even though it was not very shady.

These plants were looking very well considering it was only the end of April, not May. Being further south certainly makes a difference.
