More gardens, more flowers

Barrington Court is a Tudor house with a strange background. The best things about it, in my opinion, are a few fireplaces and the Delft Tiles. But, the gardens are magnificent in the late Spring. The roses are spectacular, the irises are iridescent, and the various plants green beyond description.


However, I want to concentrate on one of the most beautiful poppies I have ever seen. This large poppy, a photo found here from another garden, took my breath away.

The famous Gertrude Jekyll, of gardening design fame, had some influence at Barrington Court.

Most may think that high summer is the best time to visit English gardens, but I highly recommend Spring.
