Country Park, Glasgow

 These pictures of colourful kales and giant cabbages was taken in a garden in Glasgow Country Park. This park is a must visit every time we were there. I like the walk through the woodland and gardens and you can see a lot of beautiful plants and trees. It has a garden with maze too. It's a nice and beautiful place to be. You can even spot some Highland cows there.

Sweet Pea Plant At The Pollock House,Glasgow


Sweet peas are classic plant and one of my favourite plants too. I first came across it in Scotland when we visited the Pollok House in Pollock Shaw. In the garden they planted these sweet pea plants and in the spring it flowered abundantly with beautiful colours and attractive scent. I have since then tried to plant it in a pot but never have had any luck with it. I even bought some package seeds when I revisited the UK. Anyway I have fond memories of it.

Crocuses ,Queen's Park, Glasgow


This photograph reminds me of early spring in Scotland; I remembered one nurse told me that if you see crocuses coming out of the ground it is a sign that spring has come. Sure enough as I look out of the nurse’s home window I saw crocuses and hyacinth plant sprouting in the ground with beautiful flowers. Crocuses are also known as snow crocuses as it blooms early in spring. It has many colours and most of all its flowers are beautiful. It is one of my favourite plants.
