Botanic Gardens Autumn Flowers

Belfast Botanic Gardens has a lovely Autumn flower display in their giant glass house. I thought I'd share some of the colourful snaps as our daylight in the UK continues to shorten over Winter. Flowers seem to include chrysanthemum / mums, cyclamen, and ornamental chilli pepper-type plants.

    They look almost too good to be true. Don't they ever get a brown leaf??

    Magnificent displays to be sure. You'll need to take another outing there in the dead of winter to cheer us all up :)

    Gorgeous colors. As Mark says, don't they ever get a brown leaf? They look so healthy and well-kept.
