Many images to follow from the Alpine Day held at Harlow Carr Gardens, Harrogate, North Yorkshire today (7th June 2009) - heavy rain was predicted for the afternoon, but miraculously the sun shone weakly through grey-white clouds and a cool breeze did not detract from a very enjoyable day ...
Congratulations to the West Yorkshire Group of the AGS for all their promotional lectures and advertising on the day.

The gardens were a mass of alliums, iris and primulas and my first two postings feature these beautiful plantings ... alpine house and other areas of the gardens to follow in future postings.

Over one hundred and fifty images to post, so no titles for the images I'm afraid ...

It was simply a matter of sprinting around the gardens capturing images before the predicted and threatening rain began to fall ...

Don't worry, Cliff, the photographs say it all so very well that there is no need for labels.

Looking forward to the rest.

Many thanks, Luc - so glad you are enjoying them.

Almost arrived at the new alpine house ... strolling through the wildflower meadows first.

Thanks Cliff. I was going to come up to the Alpine Day but other things got in the way, this way at least I've seen some of it and can double my efforts to make it to Harlow Carr soon.

Thanks from me too Cliff, I enjoyed the series. Good to see the new Alpine House complete with good old Huddersfield stone. I must pay a visit when next I'm in the 'Homeland'.
