MBG March Visit

I thought there would be a difference in the gardens between February and March, but honestly I was not prepared for how huge this would be.  They now have tubs everywhere, this one was right inside the entrance-lovely

We went in the Linean house, they have moved a lot of the citrus trees in there now and they are laden with flowers

The camellias are still flowering

Some of the cacti are flowering now

Maggie was so excited that they had drained the pond and she could stand next to my favourite statue!!!!

They had a lot of daffodils flowering in the Moor garden

Maggie looks pretty pleased with herself

These are flowering already (Mum likes them, can't remember what they are though)

There are so many different kids of daffodils these days and some of them are very fancy

It has been a great Spring for the flowering trees.  There are more of them in the neighborhoods than in the gardens, but this magnolia tree is magnificent

They have huge beds of flowering daffodils

These little white ones are lovely

They had these teeny tulips in amongst the daffodils

and these lovely little blue flowers (maybe a type of bluebell)

I love these snowdrops

For Mum-look at the size of these bleeding hearts.  Surely they shouldn't be this big so early in the year?

And, here are my favourites (one of them anyway), hellebores

why are mine not like this???!!!!

Pasque flowers-may have been the best thing I saw this time-perfect

Going to see if I can get some to grow in my garden

Nice jonquils in the rock garden

Ben in the Mediterranean garden

The osteospermum are really lovely right now

Found this in the climatron-now idea what it is, but it's lovely

Ben and his hat!!!

The photo competition is heating up!!!!

Chocolate-now you're talking.....

and pineapples....

We found this little creature high up on the banana plant.  We could not tell if it was real or not (I think it is), we're going to see if it's still there next month

Little ants on the banana tree-maybe the lizard eats them!!!!
