Kew: Wonder of the World

Charity and I spent this very rainy afternoon wandering through the giant conservatories of Kew Gardens.
I never expected there to be so many flowers blooming in the dead of winter but they were there: deep purples, bright pinks and reds, radiant whites.
And so many amazing textures and shapes . . . rough and smooth, spiky and round, patterns of stripes and squares, giant radiating fronds and more. Trees 60 feet tall (indoors!) or 270 years old.
Pretty much three straight hours of wow.
It’s hard to think of a more impressive display of God’s creation. Plus it was all surrounded by the amazing Victorian greenhouses.
I could easily spend two days there every season for a year. What a place.
Wow.

Sounds like a fascinating place to visit! I really like the last shot on this blog post. Wonderful.
