For all of you who enjoy plant hunting, quizzes and gardens!

Lovely photos and super memories of a gorgeous day out. No 8 is Crinodendron hookerianum (Chilean Lantern Tree) - I planted one in my last garden, but sorry, I don't know the names of the others. Beautiful though!

thanks beattie ~ i recognise it now you have written it ~ sounds like a lady of the night!!!? i like its common name.

Don't know any of the names but the photo's are beautiful.
So refreshing, thanks for showing, brightened up a dreary winter's evening.

My favourite day out is to visit a beautiful garden and you have shown a delightful one, your photo`s are lovely Sticki......

thank you both of you ~ i took lots as you can imagine ~ it was such a lovely place ~ i would like to live there.

What a beautiful place . . . many thanks, Sticki, for a summery glimpse of Scotland. Great close-ups of the rhodos and azaleas, but sorry I can't name them for you. Too far away for a visit, so it's lovely to have a virtual tour.

Very beautiful and interesting place, StickiT! Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures and great memories when having such cold and snowy weather. :)
Not sure as for the names of the plants, but think No.9 is Fothergilla and the last pic is some kind of Hemerocallis. Be sure GoY members will help you with all those name correctly. :)

Really enjoyed these lovely pics Sticki,and sorry ,I don't know the names either,but it was a pleasure to look at them..:o)

Scotland has such lovely gardens and plants, love the stream and ferns, beautiful photos and I guess you walked off your lunch!

Wonderful blog Stickie and such beautiful array of blooms, I m not really one for names, I love that pink one in amongst the moss beautiful.

Wonderful photo's sticki, lovely colours. BTW, you seemed to have missed the dessert picture out. ;o)

Littlelegs perhaps they did not have dessert lol great pics another beautiful place to visit, rather a long way for us though, cannot help with the names though, all look familiar!

im sure i could find you a dessert picture but i dont think we had one that day ~ if i was lucky i got coffee as well as the pate ~ OH wasnt in a good mood, but cheered up when we went to those gardens ~ i think the pate may have helped too!!
it made me smile when you noticed no pudding!!! i do love my puddings and cakes. i always think its a trip wasted if i cant have a nice cake and cup of coffee and take some nice photos!!!

Lovely pics, Sticki - looks like somewhere I'd like to visit, this year. Piuc No. 5 looks a bit like a Monarda flowerhead which has "gone over". Thought that it was Crinodendron hoopkerianum, and glad that Beattie has this, to confirm. Agree with Uma re the Fothergilla and Hemerocallis, and the lichen isn't "Reindeer Moss", which grows on the ground, but probably "Old Man's Beard" ? :-)))

PS Pic 1 is a stunning example of "Cuisinus grandifinus"!!

What a beautiful place Sticki...naturally I know the names of all the plants...erm....but I won't ruin it for everyone;-))

thanks for filling in some of the names.

do you have any seeds for cuisinus grandifinus david? cos i would really like to get some started ~ before i starve???

of course i knew you would know all of them BA ~ thats why i didnt put all their names on!!

Aye!! Have had had more than my share of producing "homegrown"pate foi "grass" over the festive Season, lol!!! Sorry, though, ran out of seed, long ago, for the oatcakes!! :-D)

Seems an interesting place. I love the little stream.
I think the one with little cones reminds me of a yew tree. That's the only one I may have a clue on lol sorry :D

5 is Embothrium coccineum
6 is Rosa moyesii
7 is Enkianthus campanulatus.

Nice garden, lovely to see it.

thanks vincent, will have to try to remember them.

I really enjoyed this wander around a Scottish garden on this grey January day! Thanks! No good at naming things though. Pink rhododendron, yellow azaelea, white rhododendron, etc etc.....best I can do!!:))

thats all i can do too pennyfarthing but it doesnt mean i like them any less
glad you enjoyed the wander

Number 13 looks more like a tsuga cone than a yew cone. The yew is quite nobbly. Whatever their names these wonderful photographs will remain a happy memory for a long time. I tried to find Larachmhor on the map but failed. Do you have any information as to how you got there and when they are open etc. I know how to get to Arisaig but where from there?

come out of arisaig ~ travelling south on the main road and its about 200 yards on the right ~ very little to show where it is ~ i think there was just a small name plate on the gate. i even tried to find it on google when you can go down the road ~ you can see the gates but no name.
im wondering if the tourist information have other details?

Thank you Sticki will check that out.

Must be a bit of microclimate there Sticki..I love embothriums (used to call them Ian Botham's!) Chilian Firebush, they are slightly tender. One of our garden centres had a woodland walk and they had a couple of them growing there.

I think I recognise the cerise rhodo too, I tried to buy one last year..if the name comes to me I will post it.

Tetrarch, I once came on an old overgrown garden in Kerry in S. Ireland and they were digging out 'wild' Embothriums with a digger and shoving them into a neighbouring hedge!!

What sacrilege!
