Last Friday afternoon was cool and overcast, but we were going out come hell or high water. Mr GBT had worked his little socks off all of the previous weekend so I managed to persuade him to play hooky with me and we made our way over to a privately owned stately home a few miles from here. I last went when I was a child and usually resist because I think it better to use our NT cards, but the experience of this past year has left me hungry to explore what's on our doorstep.
Well what can I say?! The gardens were just incredible....now I'm well known for my love of strong colours and they've featured many a time on here. However, this took my breath away. I have never seen such brightness on this scale before. There are many photos, but I wanted to be able to share the experience with you in full technicolour!! These are from Parham House.

A feast for my eyes - some glorious autumnal colour there :)
ReplyDeleteI thought you might enjoy them being an avid gardener! Arilx
DeleteMy goodness their gladioli are out of this world. I have never seen multi-coloured ones, and that first one in particular is spectacular (yes, an explosion in a paint factory). F
ReplyDeleteI hadn't either. The first one looks more like an exotic orchid to me. Arilx
DeleteAren't they perfect! Wish my Gladioli were that gorgeous!
