This bowl was catching the light beautifully at Greenway House (Agatha Christie’s holiday home) in Devon.
I visited on a glorious spring day at the time of the Camellia Festival and completely fell in love with the place. You can see more posts about it full of camellias, in the drop down list top left of the page.
The garden is huge with wonderful meandering paths giving views of the River Dart
One of the entrances to the Camellia Garden
And looking up – a view of the house and the most spectacular magnolia
You can even stay there in the South Lodge
which gives you free access to the grounds after the visitors have left
and this is the view of Dartmouth
A white magnolia covered with lichen caught my eye
and wouldn’t you just love to have a greenhouse like this one!
It is a wonderful place – visit if you can!

What a beautiful place to live in – and write! The scenery is idyllic and, yes, I’d love a greenhouse like that, and the acreage to stand it on.

Ooh yes, look at that glasshouse – whoohoo! Strangely, I have 2 rhododendron flowers just like this that I brought inside after removing some very twiggy growth from R Cheers – they look prettier in that big goblet thing than they do in the little pot I put mine in!

Don’t trust yourself because…? Anyway, I throw down the gauntlet and challenge you to go – the Bank Hol Monday ones are better as there tend to be more private and less trade tables. And a big one gives you a better flavour

I don’t trust myself not to come back with a load of so-called bargains that will just be added to my enormous pile of junk.
But I am tempted by your challenge Cathy!

Your post today brought back very happy memories of visiting this fabulous house and garden almost 20 years ago – I’m an Agatha Christie fan so just had to visit. The bloom in a bowl is eye-catching.and beautiful.

I’ve never seen one as big or as glorious – I wish I had gone underneath it now – lying on the grass looking up at the sky through its branches would be a transporting experience.

It’s really quite some place, isn’t it? Of course, I would love a greenhouse like that, but only if I could afford the help to maintain it!
