FLOWER DOME PART 2

Today's weather - sunny
This is a continuation of the earlier post on the flower dome or cool dry conservatory. Just take a look at the myriad of diversity and colours from the many different species and cultivars of Pelargonium, CamelliaPentas lanceolata, Ajuga reptansHeuchera, Viola, Lavandula (common name: Lavender) and the grove of uncommon Olea europaea (common name: Olive Tree). 


How spectacular they all look under the light!
