"Your love of the half-ling leaf has clearly slowed your mind' said Saruman to Gandalf (I think in the film only)... at 5'1", I have the touch of a hobbit about me and given the choice between a flower and a leaf, I'd probably lean towards the greens and textures of leaves. This quote came to mind when looking back at these images from a fantastic journey around the @richmondhillopengardens in May. I walked into this garden and my mind slowed. I also thought immediately that it reminded me of a @tommasseyuk garden, and lo and beyond it was! I can't say how much I wanted to stay in this garden. And then a couple from another Richmond garden for the flower lovers! There's a dreaminess and a joy about visiting other people's gardens... and then there's the knee ache you get from crouching waiting for people to pass from your frame!

As promised, another from Holehird Gardens. I wouldn't consider myself a geranium/pelargonium fan. I love the colour and the look of childhood home (they do really well in Guernsey), however the smell isn't my favourite and so they've never been my 'wow' plant. That is until I walked into the glass house in the Walled Garden at Holehird. My word... this climbing pelargonium was breath-taking, covering feet above my head up the brick wall. Had I had hours at my disposal, I would still be there photographing it. I really was stunned. I'll be back in April next year to spend more time with it. If anyone knows the variety, let me know - I couldn't see a little black label and the internet has been little help.
