fab flora

While the house fronts, walls, and fences of Teddington are dripping in wisteria,

nearly every other blossom has come to an end, carpeting the streets and sidewalks in pink and white:

So I was rather worried Tracy and I had already missed Kew at its blossomy best. But on Monday we still managed to track down a bit of blossom holding tight,

as well as more magnolias

and other flowery finds:

And to finish a flora-filled day, I swung past the plot, where I gathered our own, which is admittedly less pretty...

but certainly more tasty!

  4. Gorgeous photos!

    The wisteria that grows on a fence nearby is still just naked vine but definitely something to look forward to!

  5. Oh dear, it's about six weeks since I've been there - maybe I'll catch the lilacs and bluebells.
    One of my favourite corners is the wisteria summerhouse, so romantic.
