With the kids being off school last week we went out on a couple of days and on a trip to Elvaston Castle we took some time to walk around the old flower garden

With many of the plants in bloom it was a riot of colour and different flowers. The gardens are set out in a traditional style that would have been the same as when it was built about 200 years ago.

There is a lot of work going on restoring the gardens with parts of it fenced off and new beds being put in, as well as this new pagoda that was built earlier this year. This walled garden is tooked away in the woodlands and is a good five minute walk from the main house and more formal gardens by the house.

Love all the flowers, must be part of what I like about Alaska, We have purple iris, not in yet, delphiniums grow great here, but no garden at our new home yet, The wild iris should be coming in soon, the lupins have started to bloom so they won't be to far behind, then the yellow water lilies, and the wild geraniums. But a little bit to still go for most of the flowers. But once the lupins start, that means the rest are not far behind.

Great photos of some great flowers @alienbutt, It's been a while since I stopped to say hello. I hope all is well.

Things seem to be moving peacefully so can't complain, hope all is well with you.

What a great show of floral sex organs!!
