24th June - Wonderful Wisley

There aren't enough superlatives in the English language to describe Wisley and do it justice. Suffice it so say that the Group had a wonderful day out there on the 24th June. The weather was perfect, the food offering good and the gardens were, of course, pristine. Here are a few pictures of some things that particularly caught my eye.

The main house where a lot of the teaching and research is done.

Hemerocallis 'Ed Murray'

The pergola with Rosa Mulliganii

A very large boxing hares sculpture!

Delphinium "Sweethearts". Wisley were using an intersting method of supporting the delphiniums by using a large guage sisal net fastened over the entire bed.

Trimming the wisteria

Strongylodon - Jade Vine

Slightly more exotic. Aechmea Mariae - reginae found in the glasshouse.
