| Phone call from mother - "What about the Garden festival at the weekend?" What indeed? So she came to stay, and we discovered Aberglasney gardens on the Saturday followed by the National Botanic Gardens (a rediscovery, this) on the Sunday. The predicted showers held off for the most part, and the children were well behaved. I know. Unexpected in the extreme! |

From the BBC website "Seven years after it was planted at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, the 7ft tall Puya is finally in bloom. The plant, related to the pineapple, is normally found in Chile. Its distinctive thorns help discourage nibbling llamas; that is not expected to be a problem in Carmarthenshire." (This photo: Press Association) 350x600 P1010051a.jpg 2007-05-22 00:00:00 Buy Print |
