Exeter Cathedral
After departing Forde Abbey, we headed for our next hotel in Exeter. It was the most modern hotel I've stayed in so far, and I had a very comfortable room. We were only here one night, and the following morning, many of the other travelers were unhappy. The air was out in many of the rooms, and the porters did not bring up their luggage. Oops, I thought mine was fantastic. After checking in, I had an hour to relax before heading down for our group dinner. Following dinner, Kathy and I walked one block to see the magnificent Exeter Cathedral in twilight. It was closed but very beautiful, especially lit up at night. This cathedral was completed around 1400. Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
Wow,that Annabelle is huge. Mine has never been that tall. It does spread wider yearly. I don't mind because she is so pretty. Love that flame calla lily. I have a bright yellow one that lives here. I was surprised that it wintered over. I am tempted to move it to a different place so I can see it more easily. I am afraid to move it because it might not live. I have a favorite nursery but it is an hour and 45 minutes away. Thank goodness. I make a pilgrimage there every spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of Hydrangeas, truly hard to pick a favorite. The orange Calla Lili is gorgeous! I especially with the spiky purple something-or-other in front of it (veronica?). You came home with 6 plants and no picture of your haul?
ReplyDeleteI have mail-ordered quite a few things from them and have been so happy with the service and good prices. Nice to see that the place also looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteAh, sigh! So beautiful. The photo of the orange callas with the purple veronica(?) below and purple clematis above--oooh!
ReplyDeleteYes, we have to see what plants you got. This is garden blogging: there are rules. ;^)
Wow! Just amazing plants. Sigh......
