...yes, yes, I can hear the groans from here, shutup, you don't need to click on the cut... ;-)

Another three-way today ;-) Me, [livejournal.com profile] nicci_mac and [livejournal.com profile] ximeria at the Botanic Gardens. Xim showed me the other day how to use the macro properly, so this was a great excuse *g*



First though, a picture of the glasshouses that we spent all of our time in today. Just because it's a lovely building.

The flowers in all the different habitats were utterly glorious. There were cacti and succulents, and strelitzias, and orchids galore, and really odd yellow bud-type things, lord alone knows what they were.

Edit Xim found out what the odd yellow bud things are (all hail Ximeria and the power of her google fu) - a variety of ginger, apparently :-)

The temperate houses had some little gems too.

But my absolute favourite picture of the day was this one. I just love love LOVE how the water turned out, like old 1950s squiggly wallpaper (except not that vile mustard yellow *g*).
