Gardener and Photographer with a love of Roses and a magpie-eye for all things Horticultural
What a lot of Hydrangeas - from a variety of destinations including RHS Wisley and the Savill Garden near Windsor.

 A pageant of colour - rhododendrons and camellias, hellebores and pulmonarias, cherry blossom, crocus, narcissus, daphne and more - but which group of plants is missing from this gallery.
