Lovely photos and plants thanks for posting. Just saw the first set so I wonder what the second is. It was posted while I wrote.
Great work
Kind regards

It's great to see a window to Kew in May....Thanks for the lovely shots of the setting and glass houses, Eric, and the odd bit of wildlife amongst the beautiful plants - one that intrigues me is 23.jpg - what on earth is it ?  ::)

However, everything seems to be  a bit topsy turvey with me today as I meant to type 2.jpg

Oh, that's my fault! I saw your post.... assumed a reference to a critter, not a plant.... because of the lizard.....thought you'd had a hiccup with the typing, edited to 23 !
Now I look back properly and see the 2 meant exactly that! Sorry, it's show week and I'm distracted!! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!  :-[  :(

2 is an Amorphophallus of some sort......... :-\

 ::) well that's a relief, Maggi, I thought I'd really lost it in the mountains - it's the altitude I blame of course although probably it's more likely to be my aptitude   ;D

Thanks for the name of that extraordinary looking plant at Kew

Hope it's not altitude, Robin.... for we're only at around 250 feet above sea level and I am muddled to smithereeens most of the time!  :-\

The lizard doesn't look like a native, well have to wait for Anthony to identify it.
