Back to Holland again – and some lovely plants from botanical gardens in Amsterdam and Leiden.
But this photo is from the flower market along one of the canals. The red flower in the lower right corner is a Gloriosa – a climber I have tried several times… but cannot make thrive at home.
A different way to use a palm house – every plant in a separate barrel.
I love these – and I know that Cee Neuner has posted ”the real thing” many times!
More from the pond and the wetlands of the gardens.
Now I am longing for summer again…
Aren’t you?

beautiful
Thank you
thanks
Gorgeous. What a treat.
Happy to share! How is the heat going?
It’s okay but I have resorted to the aircon on hot and humid days. The fluffy dogs park themselves under it.

I love these photos, Ann-Christine. And I want some of those barrels!
Haha, so would I! Too expensive though…
Beautiful..
❤️
Some wonderful patterns and textures here.
Glad to share them. Sometimes I wish I had a pond too…

Dear Ann-Christine
No, we are longing for winter with snow and ice. Until now we had only two days of snow on our trip. But we’ll go up North in January and hope for lots of snow.
Great pictures. The Dutch have a green thumb.
Keep well

Thank you – snow first of course – then Spring! Hope your snow will be glorious!
So lush and green
Always…
Gorgeous, all of them.
Thank you, Holland is a dream!
Wow. These are on another scale completely. Marvellous.
Glad you enjoyed them , Margaret!
Cool images!
Thankz, Dawn!
Beautiful garden, wonderful shots. The last two are my favourites.
Thank you, Nes, mine too.
Beautiful photos which will be sent to a Dutch friend visiting Australia at the moment in about five minutes 🙂 !
😁❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful garden and photos!
So glad you liked this garden too!
Amazing shots of the water plants. They’re so lovely in both pattern and colour when photographed from above.
Thank you! Yes, sometimes I wish I had a pond..but I believe it is too much work.

Beautiful photos! That is a great botanical garden.
Loved walking there. Well kept and interesting plants.
Lovely photos Ann-Christine 😀 You can come here and grow Gloriosa. It is a weedy pest and grows easily unfortunately
Ah……..I would if I could!
