Like you, I have had my time diverted recently from the computer to the garden and then alas, I am so tired at the end of the day.<BR/><BR/>We manage a holiday home in the village...... it belongs to our friends who live in London, so house and garden work has increased twofold..... this is where we have our veggie plot, which I have been busy working on during these recent warm sunny days. <BR/><BR/>We are only a month away from our trip to US to see Betty and Edward...... Its all very exciting!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for taking us along to the BBG Steinhardt Conservatory..... what stunning pictures.

The yellow-flowered shrub looks like a Gold Broom (Cytisus praecox) I doubt they would have Scotch Broom there since it is considered an invasive plant in many areas. <BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to seeing the Bonsai collection. Glad to see that spring has finally arrived there. (we zoomed up to 80F today, but will return to seasonal temps tomorrow).kate smudgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564410520744285676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-27845958095580945392008-04-14T21:39:00.000-04:002008-04-14T21:39:00.000-04:00Such wonderful photos!

They are certainly the same colour and look stunning in any garden because of their unusual colour.
