From the Mediterranean Biome this rather flash clematis caught my eye.
Hope you enjoy these magnificent blooms as much as I and my hubbie did and if you are ever in the St Austel area of Cornwall try and visit.

We visited there a couple of years ago lizz and it phenominal. just wish i had the camera i have now to get shots of the white-eyes and other birds flying around in the palm house dome. We must have spent a good hour walking round that one dome..spotting things we missed the first time round lol. Well worth the entrance money then so it must be a bargain now :lol: We shall endeavor to get out there again when we go down to visit the g/f's mum again

This looked like some sort of crazy thistle or possibly a Triffid!

It did occur to me that this might be, just might be Scotland's most famous taking a holiday break.

Eden Project is definately well worth a visit, will def go again if we get another trip down there.

Lovely pics Liz, brought back some good memories, the wee man loved the train taking you up and down the hill, we spent a full day there and even at only 3yr old the wee man didnt get bored, in fact he wanted to go back again.
