Fantastic flowers and plants. All you need now is some humming-birds. :D

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Great shots, Andy.
Feel like I've walked your lovely garden :D

The Dicksonias are to die for.... :P so lovely.
They'd be toast here during summer with our low humidity and hot dry winds.

Great shots, Andy! The Dicksonia, Fascicularia, and Kniphofia all look awesome!
