Precious Amber

Found this Rosa 'Precious Amber' in the Queen Mary's Gardens. The gardeners are apparently putting in a lot of work keeping the Rose Garden going in winter.

Is It Just Joey

. . . or is it more likely the Rosa Queen Elizabeth as some had suggested? This rose and a few others were on a bed labelled Rosa 'Just Joey' in the Queen Mary's Gardens. But a check online showed orange and peach roses under that label. So I'm not really sure if this is Just Joey.

Regent’s Park: Avenue Gardens

Similar to Greenwich Park, The Regent’s Park is one of the Royal Parks in London. Originally owned by the monarchy, these parks were used for recreation by the royal family and are now freely accessible open spaces for the public.

The first attraction we visited was the Avenue Gardens with its fountains, hedges and ornamental bowls filled with flowers. But of course, the main attraction at this time of the year are the autumnal colours of yellow, orange and red of these beautiful trees.

Happy to experience my first taste of autumn. How I wish we also have this season in the Philippines..

I can only imagine fallen leaves blocking water drains and it will be flooding like crazy. Just kidding. ;)

Managed to capture this sweet lady enjoying the season with a book in her hands.Time well spent.

Should have brought you something. Sorry. :)
