Tulip Time

Last week Jay and I visited the RHS garden at Wisley to see the spring flowers.

First we walked through the spring woodland garden at Battleston Hill and admired the camellias and rhododendrons.

Camellia x williamsii Debbie

 Rhododendron Ginny Gee

Then we moved onto the main attraction - the tulips.

 "New Design" - I think this is one I have in my back garden.

 These are a few more that I would like - 

"Belicia"

 "Vincent van Gogh" - this one starts out white.

 "Red Hat"

 "Flaming Baltic"

 "Russian Princess"

 "Candy Prince"

 "Auxerre"

 "Shirley Dubbel"

 "Flaming Flag"

 "Rococo"

 "Tender Whisper"

 "Zampa Parrot"

I think I need a bigger garden! :)

The Alpine Meadow was looking very pretty

 as were the plants in the Alpine Houses.  I particularly liked these two Auriculas -

"Sirius"

 "Pass Me By"

 We wandered around the rest of the garden

and then it was time to drive home.
