Exbury Gardens revisited

Today I had arranged to meet two former colleagues at Exbury Gardens in the New Forest. It didn't  bode well with heavy rain and the  temperature dropping as I drove there. However, by 11am the rain had almost stopped and it was warming up. We had a very pleasant catch up and enjoyed strolling around the  gardens. They both had to leave  soon after lunch but I stayed another couple of hours in the sunshine to have a proper  look at the plants! Many of the Rhododendrons are still looking good and  now in bloom are Pieris japonica (main blip),  Candelabra Primulas, and magnificent Wisteria floribunda (extras).
