Spring is in the air!

Went down to Arduaine Garden today to continue with the re-cataloguing of tree and shrubs. Lots of magnolias in flower, rhododendrons too - and many other plants. Well worth a visit.

This magnolia was actually in the garden next door, but I couldn't resist the strange little cloud!

My extra today is a back-lit truss of Rhododendron macabeanum, a lovely species from NE India, Manipur and Nagaland.
