The rhododendrons at Kilmacurragh make a stunning pink-carpeted world beneath the Wicklow sun. One of my fav spots for a colourful escape this time of year.

Walking beneath these ancient boughs sometimes feels like stepping into another world entirely. The dappled light and deep greens of Wicklow are calling! 🌿✨

Stepping into a developing floral cathedral at Kilmacurragh. It won't be long before the pathway is a carpet of petals! 🌺✨

I love this quote on a memorial bench in the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow.

A staring contest at the National Botanic Gardens, Dublin! 🐿️ The dappled light by the water was beautiful, but this cheeky local completely stole the show. Who do you think blinked first?

Beautiful but sneaky! The mistletoe on this tree at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin is a hemi-parasite stealing water from its host. Nature is ruthless! 🌿

Der #Schwiegermutterstuhl, haha, so lustig. Aber Fun Fact, dieses Bild stammt aus den Grusonschen Gewächshäusern in #Magdeburg, die von dem Unternehmer und Kakteensammler Hermann #Gruson gestiftet wurden. Er besaß Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts die größte Kakteensammlung Europas und vermachte sie nach seinem Tod der Stadt Magdeburg. Und jetzt ratet mal, nach wem dieser #Goldkugelkaktus aus Mexiko benannt wurde: Kroenleinia grusonii.

A mother-in-law's chair, HAHAHAHA sO FUnNY. But really, a fun fact is that this photo was taken at the #GrusonGewächshäuser conservatory in Magdeburg, a botanical garden named after Hermann Gruson, entrepreneur and collector of cacti. Built after his death, the #conservatory houses the #plant collection he bequeathed to the city of Magdeburg – once the largest collection of #cacti in Europe at the end of the 19th century. Now, guess after whom this #goldenBarrelCactus from Mexico, Kroenleinia grusonii, was named.
