Went to Glow Wild on Saturday. We have been going every year for the past few years, but this one was the best yet!
Will re-blog to add more photos!
Plant of the Day

By this stream side the new fronds of Osmunda regalis (royal fern, flowering fern) were uncurling. This fern is native to Europe, Africa and Asia growing in damp conditions and forming a large clump of bipinnate fronds with separate fertile spore-bearing fronds. The foliage turns an attractive red-brown in autumn.

Plant of the Day
Sunday 23 May 2021
The compact, evergreen shrub Skimmia × confusa 'Kew Green' has been covered in small, fragrant greenish-yellow flowers that were very popular with the local bees. This cultivar is a male plant so it can be planted with female varieties to help pollination resulting in a cheerful display of red berries.
