I'm afraid I have been very slow putting these photos up here, I thought I had better get my finger out or it will be time for the summer photos. Early spring at Eden saw the beautiful daffodils leading the way in the spring show of colour. The pictures really don't do justice to the vibrancy of them. Here are the photos taken outside of the biomes. It was a cold March day but the flowers brought a feeling of sunshine to an overcast day. I hope you enjoy them.
The flowers really are beautiful with their gorgeous colours, but I also love the sculptures that you come across as you make your way around the site.
From the scary to the beautiful
I love this one the more you look, the more you spot.
Washing machine drums, irons, lawn mowers, computers.......what else can you spot?
There were also living sculptures made from willow. I would love to make one of these it will be interesting to see them in the summer.
Whoops how did that get here :)

ReplyDeleteIs that make up artist very short or that actor very tall?
ReplyDeleteI love all the flower shots ... the essence of spring.
Don't know, but I'm thinking of re training as a make up artist :)
DeleteBeautiful colours in the flowers and I love your top photo of the moody sky above the domes. The bottom photo's not bad either ...
ReplyDeleteHaha, well he was in Cornwall so I had to include it :)
DeleteLovely photos, I wish you hadn't taken any of the Hellebores though, now I want to go out and buy even more. Some of thouse sculptures are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely, I was tempted to buy some in Edens plant shop but if we are moving it's not worth it.
DeleteAre the Hellebores expensive in their shop? here I have to pay anything from 10 euro up to 25 euro for the more unusual ones.
ReplyDeleteSorry Anne I can't remember what price they were, probably more expensive than at garden centres.
DeleteSTUNNING pics,LOVE the Beautiful flowers and other works of Art.Thanks so much for sharing with us,and of course that last pic was very easy on the eye.x
