Excellent blog Sanbaz I so enjoy a walk around your beautiful garden thank you.

Lovely San, only being 5`1, I could sleep in one of those leaves, pretend I was Thumbeina, great set of pics.
Pleased you enjoyed it, off to catch part two..

San, did you see that prog. with Prince Charles all about the restoration of the big house at Dumfries? It was very interesting, i loved it and he is doing a lot of good there building affordable homes for folk and restoring the gardens and house. They have opened a tea room which looked nice (well the cake did!) Lol

lovely blog Sandra...looks like a lovely place..

lovely blog Sandra...looks like a lovely place..

Aha, I found one pic showing the flowers - really pretty!

Maybe I'll google it - last time I looked, they only showed the leaves...

Bamboo They are long pinkish with small pretty flowers at each level going up almost looking like a long fir -cone , San might give you a better description ......

Are the flowers nice? I'd be growing it for the leaves really, if I can find room...

Lovely thanks for showing your photos pleased you had a nice time.

It is pretty !

Hi San the piece you gave me is growing well , it has some nice big leaves I will take a photo when it stops raining ,it didn't flower this year but then we had a drought last summer & through the winter perhaps it will flower late with all this rain !

Enjoyed your blog Sandra, we used to visit Edinburghoften when I was a child [we had relatives there] and the castle was a must! Last time I was there was with Harry to see the Tatoo which like Sandra says is very moving ;0)

Love the Gunneras Sandra , it does look an interesting place to walk round especially those Water gardens I m green with envy! So nice to see you back on here again, thought you had hibenated away from the rain, you sound as if you missed it while away Its dreadful here mostly non stop just can
t get out!

That was nice to see Sandra, Edinburgh is one of the places on my list of want to see, been through it but not stopped there.

Looks a lovely place,San..glad you enjoyed Dumfries...used to visit often when young..my dad bought his first car from there..:o)...Not heard of Logan before..but worth knowing if we are ever up that way again..:o)

Glad you enjoyed Edinburgh,San..a long time since we were there for the Tattoo..loved it all...very moving..I can't believe how much it is to visit the castle now..Nice you were able to visit the gallery...more your thing..:o)

Thats a biggy :))

I like it aswell :)

Glad you enjoyed your trip north Sandra. The Scottish National Gallery is one of our favourite places too. I have never been in the castle....too expensive. :o) I know what you mean about visiting gardening friends, our other halves would feel out of place.

Love the gorillas!!!

Theres a cactus growing thete I couldn't believe it!

Some great plants there San, i was suprised to see an aroid bed! looks gorgeous..
Pamg, what a coincidence, pity you and san weren't there at the same time!

The towns are small and so friendly, did you go through Newton Stewart? Proper little shops with people behind the counters nothing rushes up here take time to smile and chat...its a different world.....

San.... I was there YESTERDAY!. and you've got my photos! Under the gunnera all the gorgeous eucalyptus with the amazing bark, all so different, and did you see those young trees related to the monkey puzzle tree that are on the endangered list, we look out at the Mull of Galloway and the Isle of Man, we,re in Luce Bay near Port William......
Going to look at part 2...

I'm not a townie either Sandra ... don't like the rushing crowds and traffic .... but I love going on a train (big kid lol) but I haven't been on one for years
That first little place looks lovely :o)

Aw lol..yeah we next time we could all meet up!
