Still looking good

I had to hang around in Kirkwall for a while and took the chance to look in at the gardens at Tankerness House.

It's looking a bit untidy, with beds in need of weeding but overall, still impressive. The shrubs are looking healthy and blooming in spite of neglect. There's such a good variety of plants, and they have been well placed to compliment one another.

In the extra - an attempt to capture the fabulous flower on the Cordyline.
