Is it just me?

Looks lovely! Pity you didn't get a photo of the arrangement you liked! Were those primroses outdoors? I have the odd flower here and there but nothing like that!

The trees look beautiful Chris , I love the scent of primroses it brings back those days of picking bunches when I was little , Thank you for a little touch of spring to come ...

The illuminations are very pretty, they remind me of how my dad used to take us to see the rocks and cliffs down the Mumbles when they were lit up ... but I prefer the Primroses lol ... so it isn't only you :)

I often think simple planting with good plants is often much more impressive than 'fancy' plants.

must make the effort to get up to Harlow Carr and see the winter walks there.

No,it isn't just you,Chris.I think simple planting is much more effective,although the lighting is spectacular..so glad you had another nice day at Rosemoor gardens :o)xx

Sometimes a well-designed planting, no matter how simple, is the most effective thing of all. I love Christmas lights (and we have a fair few ourselves) but not much can beat primroses 😊.

No, not just you! Tbh, I'm not really a fan of these lit gardens. I find the bright colours jar with me. Gardens, for me, are about nature, so unless the lights are illuminating the plants, they do nothing for me.

I start planting with a clean simple idea, but enthusiasm usually overtakes me.

I love my garden lights they cheer me up on a cold winters night.....

I so agree with you WR. simple is often best, although the illuminated trees do look effective. Did you buy the pretty arrangement?
