I managed to tick off another garden on my 'must see' list while on my trip to Harrogate. RHS Harlow Carr didn't disappoint and was full of colour on what was a grey, damp day - typical weather for this year! Join me on the blog for a look around: https://bit.ly/3Y3b5oa

Sorry I'm done now thank you for looking at my posts today from our rhs Bridgewater trip in the spring season. We will be back in the summer to see how the plants have grown and the produce has grown in the kitchen garden. Bye for now. #rhs #rhsbridgewater #gardenvisit #gardeningmastodon

These are a couple of Camellia's. These are rather flamboyant and are saying a big hello to Spring. I couldn't find the variety names, though I did find that the smaller hot pink blossom with the first one is Prunus mume 'Beni-chidori', a Japanese apricot.

This is my favourite tree at the Sheffield Botanical Gardens, Acer Griseum. It's a slow growing tree, so this one must be at least 50 years old if not more. It's also known as the Paperbark Maple, from it's gorgeous cinnamon-like coloured bark. It has dark green leaves that turn crimson and scarlet in autumn.
