Just a few pics from Friday's visit to Rosemoor the RHS Garden here in Devon. The Paeonia pics have already appeared in the Paeonia 2010 thread and the others are specific plants or just views that caught my eye.
The first three are general views and the fourth a planting view.
Paeonia officianalis ssp. microcarpa
P. rockii
P. suffruticosa 'Cardinal Vaughan' (I have awful trouble with reds!)
Smilacina looked and smelt lovely throughout the woodland areas.
Rhododendron could have filled many frames but restricted to one sample here.
Verbena-didn't get the name, but looked lovely.

Last few from Rosemoor.
Iris douglasiana
Iris sibirica 'Langthorns Pink'
I sibirica 'Tropic Night'
Trillium luteum

I have a few more but won't bore you with those. And I have to say my wife thoroughly enjoyed it ... and she hates Gardens normally ::)
