Celebrating the New Year with a fine display of willow catkins - spring will soon be here after all
Here's to new beginnings,

Here's to pollen instead of gunpowder!
Here's to peace 🙏

Introducing Costasiella kuroshimae affectionately named the leaf sheep. This little dude not only crazes but can photosynthesise itself

The gorgeous skeletonised framework of a Thorn Apple pod today, still packed with seeds.

A purple form of Ledebouria socialis, Silver Squill (though no longer classified as a Squill), flowering this week at ChelseaPhysicGarden #Asparagaceae #gardenshour

Tropaeolum tricolor, the Chilean nasturtium, flowering under glass at ChelseaPhysicGarden #GardensHour #Trapaeolaceae

Growing up, the Candle plant (Curio articulatus) was one of my first #houseplants , but they rarely flower for me. Here we are though - a slightly unpleasant-smelling South African #succulent member of the sunflower family. #houseplanthour #Asteraceae

A sculpture of eight foot tall twin Sudanese Water Goddesses by renowned artist, John Buckley, was recently unveiled at Braziers Park to mark the start of the #COP26Glasgow Summit.

Glorious September mornings 🙌

Hell on earth is surely a zoo but heaven is a botanic garden.

We are hoping to do some maintenance work on our historic #greenhouse this year. Do get in touch if you'd like to help. A brief history of the greenhouse can be found here: braziers.org.uk/the-greenhouse…

Yellow archangel, Lamium galeobdolon, and Goldilocks buttercup, Ranunculus auricomus #wildflowerhour

First flowers of the year out inside the greenhouse Braziers Park. Variegated greater periwinkle around the old heating pipes #GardensHour #Vinca

This is the first time one of my jade plants has flowered! Perhaps due to being moved to a sunnier windowsill #Crassulaceae #HouseplantHour

Quite relieved the rose garden disappeared but some of the topiary planted over 100 years ago has grown huge #GardensHour

Virtual Community Event: In lieu of our usual wider community weekend we're gathering online for a varied programme of weird and wonderful taster sessions, short films and discussion to brighten up a lockdown Sunday.
