Six on Saturday - Spring Bank holiday

We have had some lovely weather recently to show Britain's gardens and countryside at its best.
I have been out and about recently and here are my six:
 1.  Laburnum Arch at Temple Newsam.  There are four of these which flank an arrangement of box topiary.  Worth a visit to see the beautiful Rhododendrons and all for free.

 2.  Bird of Paradise in Temple Newsam hothouse

 3.  Climbing Pelagoniums, again in the hothouse

4.  Cactus (prickly pear), Eastern Algarve

 5.  Just made my heart sing, Eastern Algarve

 6.  More Pelagoniums, Beningborough Hall, Yorkshire.  I can never get mine to grow so large and showy.
 The Propagator generously hosts Six on Saturday.  Click on the link to his blog to see what he and his followers are growing and doing in their gardens this week.
