Welcome back!! Thanks for sticking with me through my natural ramblings!
So, at Wisley they have a tropical greenhouse where they grow all sorts of random stuff and today they were growing a hippo!
Just having a casual dip in the greenhouse pool!
Also, in the greenhouse is a heap of orchids and it's one of my favourite parts of a Wisley trip. As it's kept so lovely and humid in there they grow pretty much all year round and agian, Wisley throw some awesome plant DNA together!

| I always think orchids look like they are about to eat you! |
 |
| Another green flower - so weird. I can't work out whether I like it. |
 |
| Love the colour combination of this flower. |
 |
| Look at it's little pouch. Makes me think of a milk maid for some reason and I'm not sure why..... |

 |
| Mother Nature is so cool - all the stripes and spots. The sheer detail in one flower is incredible. |
 |
| It's Mushu! 'Dragon, not lizard.... I don't do that tongue thing!' |
 |
| PINK! |
 |
| This is my favourite orchid of the bunch tonight. So beautiful. |
 |
| Dancing ladies, like the flowers from Fanatasia!! |
 |
| Weird and wacky! A Jade Vine? Looks like the flower equivalent of a Banana plant. |
 |
| Of course, a purple flower to finish, 'coz I like purple the mostest! |
 |
| Hanging hearts. Really sweet. |
 |
| Makes me think of a cockerel. |
 |
| How mad is this plant! |
 |
| There was a robin flying round the greenhouse and he stopped long enough for me to snap this. |
 |
| Having a nap on the bank of the lake. |
 |
| My 'what I call' classy shot. |
So that about sums up my Wisley visit. I went a bit shutter mad - these are only a handful of the 150+ photos I ended up with. I get a bit snappy happy when I get to Wisley as there is so much detail and delicate beauty to work with. If you've read to the end of these two blogs, then thank you! I love getting page views and knowing that people are reading my stuff. Even if it is all a bit rambly and nonsensical.
Check in soon
