    A half price offer and a sunny day was good for another visit. A few flowering trees and shrubs out and a few I am not familiar with.
    We only found out when we arrived that a lot of paths were closed which cut our visit short.
    Two Butias and a Clianthus at the Cafe entrance.

          Wonderful photos Clive and a good day to visit. I love the Camellia and Rhodo, Wow, the Pheasant ... I wonder where they have been hiding. Thank you for sharing.
