Angie, what a lovely garden full of glorious plants - the Meconopsis and red poppies are fabulous and there are some lovely stone features - the fountain with the birds and clematis growing up the tree behind  and the primula by a mill stone of some sort?  What a good cause for Helen and Bill McGregor to open their garden for  :) Thanks for showing your photos of it.

Thanks Robin.. They are a lovely couple.  They work so hard for there opening days, they too like your brother had so much damage caused by deer and the hard winter. The garden is one and a half acres and is so pleasant to walk around there is so many treasures to see.
I am glad you enjoyed  photos.

You take some lovely pictures Angie.

There's no doubt that Meconopsis, Nomocharis and similar plants love the Scottish climate. It looks like a beautiful garden and so many plants flourishing. Thanks for introducing us to this very nice place and its clever owners.

It's great to see these garden pics as distinct from individual plants. They are really inspiring. You really love your bog plants Chris, don't you? But then, I suppose that balances the xeric ones. ;D
