Visit to Kew Gardens in London

We arrived in London 2 days before the European PT-meeting. On Monday, we decided we wanted to re-visit the beautiful Kew Gardens. We had been there nearly 25 years ago, so it was about time to go there again! Of course you all know why Bernard loves to go there: he can always use new ideas for our own garden, lol!
On to the pics now!

Wow - stunning pictures Lut! Has Bernard come in from the garden since you got back?

Those are beautiful. I just love the giant lilly pads.

But what's up with that butt? What exactly is it? :)

Wow! What beautiful flowers in those gardens. I could have spent all day there myself.

I went and looked at the pictures of your PT meeting and I can tell what a great time everyone had. Looks like all of you had a blast!!

It is not a butt, lol. It is some kind of nut and its shell, rather rare. Anybody here who knows the real name??

Beautiful pictures. Kew is an absolutely wonderful place.

Beautiful! I've always wanted to go to Kew Gardens, I've been reading aout it forever. Those waterfalls and lily pads are stunning!

It's a wonderful place, and I'm surprised you were able to tear Bernard away from it for the Pet Talk gathering!

Great pics! I've never been to Kew Gardens but I will have to go someday :D

It looks wonderful there! Although I've been to England countless times, I've never been to see Kew Gardens. :o I have to next time!

Your photos are absolutely beautiful, what a variaty of flowers. I bet Bernard got some inspiration. :)

Yup yup, in the garden and at the gardencenter :p
