Ooooh!

Wouldn't it be nice if the gardens had a section on their websites about:
 'Plants Currently in Flower' or 'Rarities Not to be Missed'.
I can hear a thunder of voices why this can't be done, but it would increase visitors to the gardens (and shops and cafeteria...), an all round winner.  ;)

I'm sure you're right, Maren. Some of the botanic gardens do do this and I do not doubt it is a good marketing ploy.
