The folly from the other side.


The large drift of Cyclamen coum, studded with Galanthus and Erythronium noses just breaking the surface.




So many Daphne in this garden the air is filled with their scent, this one is one of the new Daphne Perfume Princess.



One of the many moss paths, this one leads you to the pond.

There is also a New Zealand Silver Fern in this area, the path is lined with the New South Wales maiden hair fern, growing slightly taller than Victorian maiden hair fern.
