Scotland - Part II

I was all excited when I saw this herb store in Glasgow - with the plants outside and the beautiful signs. Inside was rather like a health food store here in the States, but what I really liked was the desk where you can make an appointment to consult with an herbalist. Wish it was so here!



But here are the formal garden pictures. This collection of different heathers was beautifully arranged on a slope, with rhododendron and ablaze in color.



A formal design at House for an Art Lover at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow.




Also at Bellahouston Park, what is this? It looks similiar to angelica, and obviously the same large size, but not really quite right....






And the British do love their colorful primrose, mixed here with tulips.



A treat to see horse chestnut in flower. It brought back memories for several in the group who remembered them growing up.











At the Glasgow Botanic Garden, I thought this color combination was just beautiful.


Rhododendron in bloom at the Glasgow Botanic Garden, what colors.
