Very promising start Michael !  ;D  At least I hope it's only a start...

Wonderful series and as Maggi mentioned it : an awful lot of colour in these gardens. 

Looks like you had splendid weather too !  Makes a change to what we've been used to the last month or so.

Thanks for sharing !  ;)

Very impressive series Michael. Thanks for showing so many interesting places.
Didn't you get the feeling of getting out of the bus, when driving through these
landscapes to botanise in the mountains and fields?  ;D
