Days Out: Cambridge Botanic Garden

The map...

Very useful for getting about! There is quite a lot to cover here...

We started near the Lake/pond,
admiring the bird life and trying to figure out what was what.

The scented garden is always my favourite bit of a botanic garden. Here, it smelt wonderful and reminded me of the Rose garden near Duraswhere I dragged my parents last summer.
We ended up ordering afternoon tea which consisted of rose shaped scones, with rose petal jam and rose leaf tea!! Also, I discovered Escapade roses here. They smell beautiful.


A botanic stump!

This leaf was spectacularly big

Alien lifeform, well not really. This was a really freaky plant though. About 3 foot tall too!


Ha, do you see the sun glasses!! And also the amazing cactus type plant.
We saw a Staghorn fern here too.
It was a pretty freaky growth stuck on the roof with massive horns..


Pink flowers. Beautiful
