Flowers at Wrest Park

Looking back to our visit to Wrest Park last Sunday, there were some beautiful blooms in the rose garden and elsewhere.

Many of the roses had been flowering for some time and it was tempting to do a little 'dead-heading' as you passed by.  The individual flowers were lovely though.

Many of the roses were named, old, varieties from David Austin.

Others were from the local growers - Harkness of Hitchin.

Beyond the rose garden, a quite ancient wisteria was enjoying a second flowering in one of the walled gardens..

And these artichokes were in full flower..
