Sunday in Wisley Royal Horticultural Garden

Today we visited the Royal Horticultural Garden at Wisley.  Although rain threatened, the weather cooperated - again.  We have had the most amazing weather this entire trip.

Needless to say, the gardens and greenhouses were beautiful and interesting.  A huge new greenhouse was opened only a few years ago and it had quite a collection - orchids by the hundreds, cacti....

The orchards were especially interesting as they have trained the fruit trees into flattened shapes so that the fruit is easy to pick.  We have never seen anything like it.   
 We were also intrigued by the tiny alpine plants growing in rock.  And, we walked through a veritable jungle of multi-colored rhododendrons.

We spent the bulk of the day there - a lot of walking.

Later, we returned the Aygo to Kingston, taking the bus back to Maura's.

Another lovely day.
