Today we went on a expedition to RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) Rosemoor to see the Westcountry Embroiderers' Exhibition, "Seasons in Stitch" (http://www.westcountryembroiderers.co.uk/news/) which was excellent and well worth the 130 mile round trip. Incidentally, it's on until 29 April.
I'd love to post photos of some of the amazing creations from the exhibition but may then be breaching copyright. However, this link gives a flavour of the standard of workmanship of WCE members: http://www.westcountryembroiderers.co.uk/galleries.php?id=3.
After lunch we had a sortie around the gardens and, although a little disappointing as it's very early in the season, still found lots to look at including the following:
unusual log found in the woods
camellias
mahonia?
allium?
I can't remember the name of this - any ideas?
interesting path
I thought this was solely an indoor plant but it's flourishing at Rosemoor - in a shady habitat
camellia
