The latest from Kew…
We are surrounded by so much colour and scent here at Kew I’m not sure where to begin.So how about with Lilium regale.
The Cacti Island has been planted up and I think it looks great.A mixture of cacti and succulents, including Aloe, Agave, Aeoniums and Echeveria.
The other pictures are of just some of my favourites plants from around the Gardens.I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
