Part 1 HERE
After we exited the hot glass house we toddled off around the grounds,
So many different blossoms and blooms everywhere
As the Gardens are part of the University Campus, on sunny days the students come here to study, or chat, or be romantic 🙂
So that’s all for today folks, stay tooned for the Bluebell Woods just across from the Gardens.

Nice! I like the pairing of the larger shot and the intimate close up of the flowers. Very beautiful. My favorite is the Triffid.

I did some graduate work at Durham many years ago. There used to be a sort of sculpture of cutout metal bits that on their own looked a little puzzling but that appear to overlap when you viewed it while looking towards the river–that was clever. I’m glad to see nice plants thereabouts.

Wow! What a lovely post. Durham students are so lucky to have such a beautiful space to study in (or whatever that couple were up to 😉). When I was a student we had the spaghetti junction and Aston Expressway!

The sculpted birdy things are very attractive. Are they wood?

The one on the right is, I think it might be a swan, but couldn’t say for sure, the other one is a metal heron I think!

Those flowers are all beautiful!! I love the idea of recycling old items to make into flower pots! I just hope the flowers are fragrant enough to cover the odor of old shoes! 😂😂
