Kew- mizzly, muddy and magnificent
Hello again, had a chance to go to Kew again today, even though (as the title suggests) it wasn't a perfect day! Took hundreds of pictures, just a shame there is no blue sky behind them! Hope you enjoy.
the magnolia inside the gate, petals dropping onto the bluebells underneath
beds of bluebells in pockets around the gardens
lots and lots of trees in blossom now, so fragrant.
beds of tulips outside the Princess of Wales glasshouse
refuges inside the POW, from the Temperate House during it's restoration
looks so different without the vibrant orchid display of earlier this spring!
stunning Jade Vine with lots of pendulous blooms hanging
the giant Titan Arum growing madly
perlagonium in the POW arid section
more trees in blossom outside
the flowering cherry by the Palm House Pond
inside the Palm House, love how the lens has misted up again (I kept wiping it) and created this atmospheric shot
tulips.
despite the gloom, the greens of the trees and grass are vivid already
the branches of the acer are covered in moss, beautiful!
the lake at the Sackler crossing
starry petals of the Camus, a big drift of bluey-violet
the path through the wooded area to the bluebell wood was VERY muddy and it was hard in places to stay on my feet...
but the bluebells are looking pretty already
and more magnolia
and tulips
hope you enjoyed all these - lets hope next time we go, the weather is kinder (was glad of my big duck down filled coat!)

Hmmm, looks as muddy as our dog walk this morning with all them puddles!
Absolutely love that jade colour, it doesn't look like a flower, never even knew you could get anything that colour - fabulous xxx
Sometimes a rainy muddy day is absolutely perfect nonetheless :)
Oh I have enjoyed looking through these. I love the water droplets on the last flower image. These are stunning. What a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning! It really makes me want to return to Kew. Thanks for sharing these Helen!
Gorgeous pictures , I love the look of that Jade Vine. Tracy x
Beautiful pictures - I love Spring flowers and blossom xx
It might have been grey & muddy, but you still got gorgeous photos. That jade vine is stunning.
Gorgeous colours! Glad you made it today in spite of the weather.
I certainly enjoyed your post, stunning photos of beautiful nature. Thank you for sharing. Lots of hugs Cardarian
Looks like they planted a few daffodils in with the bluebells under the magnolia tree in the first and second photos inside the gate.
I LOVED the photo of the palms inside the Palm house. That was a fantastic photo. I bet my hair would have been REALLY curly in there!
The lake photos you took look like it was raining while you took them. It's certainly atmospheric, as is the photo of the road/path through the wooded area.
I'm so glad I joined you at Kew today, even though I didn't get cold, wet, or even damp in the Palm House. I certainly had fun looking, though. Thanks for taking me with you. You certainly covered a very different area during this latest tour.
