Botanics - December

Today has been a crisp day, cold and clear.

There were no flowers to see on our walk, but many leafless trees catching the sun.

Welcome stillness amidst hectic activity.

Very topical, as I'm reading Star Gazing! Now I can see where Marianne walked.

No flowers? I guess the reconstruction of the famous peat beds means that some of the primula species that one might expect to see in flower (P. whitei springs to mind) are currently lurking in some hidden nursery bed. Were there no Hamamelis mollis cv. in flower? From your photographs the RBG all looks lovely as usual.

Love the virtual visits to the Botanic Garden, Karen. I visited Edinburgh before I was a gardener, and didn't know what a treasure I was missing...
