I have had to create a new category of ‘visits’ to allow me to consider postings that relate to plants or features I would like to introduce to the Ty Canol gardens at some point. I have fallen in love with dahlias this year and the feature picture here is one I really have a ‘must have’ feeling about. I need someone to advise of the name or will need to see it in a picture at a garden centre. That said, I have already enjoyed the ones planted and flowering this year at Ty Canol, not least the orange beauty that my camera keeps returning to. I may well have to post a newer photo that shows how the flower has developed.
The other photos are of others captured at a cent visit to the Botanical Garden of Wales.
Set in the Carmarthenshire countryside 4 miles north of the centre of Carmarthen at an altitude of 600 feet. Some exposure to the westerly winds blowing from the Preseli mountains but the tree planting in 1991 manage to create a peaceful and still haven in the lower parts of the garden.
All the photographs in this site have been taken in the garden or from the garden (such as some of the photos of birds)
