Sunshine and Camellias to greet 2025 at Roseland Parc. #RoselandParc #gardens #Cornwall #Camellias

I was sold this as Hedychium griffithianum, in dry tuber form, back in April, which might explain why it's struggling into flower now. I'm not sure it is griffithianum, though, as it doesn't have the distinctive extended stamens... #Hedychium #zingiberaceae #gardens #Cornwall

Fern-like new leaves unfurling on Banksia attenuata 'dwarf'. Another beauty from Penberth Plants @PenberthClaire #proteaceae #Banksia #gardens #Cornwall

Greeted back to work today by the first flower on Camellia yuhsienensis x hiemalis 'Yume'. @RCM_Group #Camellias #gardens #Cornwall #RoselandParc

The king of the garden, on his throne, enjoying the Autumn sun. #dogsoftwitter #dogs #Cornwall

Look what i found @GardeningSaul ! All we need is chocolate coated custard creams for @lucycgardens and you'll have the ultimate 'Talking Heads' biscuit selection! #talkingheadspodcast #biscuits

Glorious golden light to end the day, highlighting Canna 'Pretoria' being set off beautifully by our neighbours Aster/Symphyotrichum. #aster #symphyotrichum #michaelmasdaisy #cannalillies #flowers #Cornwall #gardening

Liriodendron tulipifera grows quickly! I planted this tree in 2018 at around 5ft. It seems to double in size each year - 1st is today, 2nd pic is 2022. #tree #Liriodendron #tuliptree #gardening #Cornwall #RoselandParc

Salvia 'Phyllis Fancy' looking wonderful this morning. #salvia #perennials #flowers #gardens #Cornwall

Morning. #Cornwall

Filling up rapidly... #greenhouse #succulents #exotics #gardens #Cornwall #RoselandParc

Probably the last decent cut of the year for the games lawn today. #lawns #gardening #patchoftheday #Cornwall #RoselandParc

This young Magnolia 'Honey Tulip' survived delivery & will fill the hole left by our old Prunus serrulata 'Tai-haku'. #Magnolia #trees #gardens #Cornwall #RoselandParc

Why do delivery drivers translate "this way up" & "handle with care" as "kick the s@%t out of them" & "Anyway that fits in my van"? #trees #gardens #Cornwall

Hedychium greenii finally opening up in the Walled Garden today. #gingers #zingiberaceae #Hedychium #gardens #Cornwall #RoselandParc

Sunshine at last! #gardens #trees #autumn #Cornwall #RoselandParc

A little ray of sunshine on a dreary, wet day. Hedychium maximum is flowering! First year in the ground & about a month later than last year. #Hedychium #zingiberaceae #exotics #gardening #Cornwall #RoselandParc

We had a frost in the valley at the bottom of the gardens this morning... thankfully, it didn't touch the gardens higher up, and the Brugmansia remained unscathed! #gardens #exotics #Brugmansia #Cornwall #RoselandParc

Autumnal. #trees #acer #gardens #cyclamen #Cornwall #RoselandParc
