Finally managed to downsize the pictures after threatening XP and Adobe Photoshop with termination.
We had a great trip to Brodick on Arran yesterday.  The weather was like the middle of Summer with only a gentle breeze blowing, so much so that we sat on the upper deck of the ferry going and returning.
We had never been to the gardens at this time of year so it was interesting to see what was doing.
I would reckon that about 30% of the Rhododendrons were in flower, with the main display to come about early to mid May with the Maddeni group a bit later. The Horlick's collection was looking really healthy with the main display about 3 weeks away.   The Magnolias will probably be at their best in a few days, provided we have no late frosts  I have added two botanical Rhoddies just for curiosity value.  I can't imagine anyone really wanting to grow them

TC:
