A map of the garden. Our guide didn't wait for us.	The lake with giant ligularia guarding the shore.
The formal gardens in a hollow.	The greenhouse .
Some of us had lunch	beside this beautiful hillside shade garden.
A rustic gazebo. Would Mr Howard have had one like this in 1920?.	Lady's Mantle fills the bed beneath the tree.

This fellow has a punk haircut.

Do they bring the cacti into the greenhouse in the winter?.

Ferns with lamium. How do they grow them so tall?. Duck poo?

Be careful where you step; there are animals about.	and they move very slowly.
Like this basking iguana.	To see this woodpecker you had to look way up.
