In the midst of our Florentine musings, we decided to take a trip to Gendurgan Garden, a National Trust garden on the Helford River. It was the total opposite to the Italian Renaissance formality that we've been concentrating on recently, with classic English landscape design and naturalistic planting. And at this time of year (although the season is late) it has lovely drifts of spring wild flowers, and fresh green growth everywhere.
Meadows of Candelabra Primulas and Aquilegias...
...magnificent Magnolias and delicate Davidia...
...and even some beautiful Marsh Orchids
as well as Rhodedendrons, Bluebells, wild Garlic and Brunnera.
And this lovely plant which I can't find in any of my wild flower books, can anyone help me out?
