Lovely pictures Carol, I would love to go there. I remember the Himalayan poppies from when I lived in Oban. One day I will make myself an acid soil bed so I can grow Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Pieris as well as the poppies of course. ;D ;D

I really must get across Carol. Mind you, I've not been to the Glasgow one yet !

My Himalayan poppies (of which i sowed 5 and very carefully kept apart from everything else) seem to have turned into my red/black poppies !! I REALLY must label every pot in future.

Thanks for the pics, we keep saying we're going to go out for the day, so now I know where we can go.

;D

Carol you are certainly gadding about recently! Phew I can't keep up!

Lovely pictures. Haven't been there for years,everytime we go to Edinburgh we end up in the zoo or in Butterfly world. I don't mind really but I must insist on going to the Botanical Gardens next time. (Thats me putting my virtual foot down haha!)
