Oh the last few weeks have been so busy... Lot's of university deadlines, my first school placement (one week down, 3 to go!) and lots of preparation for summer jobs and maybe a visit home if I'm lucky! So I decided to skive for a few hours, and meet my best friend where he's working at the minute, the Botanic Gardens!
A few more daffodils first, they are so relentlessly cheery, I wish I could be that colourful...
...and some Fritillaries to match...
...a whole mini green house of colour, too bright for my poor little camera to cope with...
...we went to the Glass houses next, to look at some slightly more exotic plants...
...and found to our surprise and delight, that due to important maintenance work...
...it is free to visit the Glass Houses at the moment!...
...I am growing some of these Begonias from a cutting, but they'll take a long time to look this nice...
...I really like this metal frog, it looks so real...
...I think I'd like some of these epiphytes in my bathroom, so I could pretend I was under a jungle waterfall and not a shower head... Though I'm not sure my flatmates would agree...
Visiting the Botanics never gets boring, everything is different each time I go there and there is so much of it to see! I'm so lucky to have this on my doorstep.

I visited a high school recently who had beautiful flowers and plants like these growing in all the corridors! I wish my flat could be like that...
