A view of the architecture of the Kew Gardens Palm House. In front of me is a raised bed with a line of pillars supporting part of the glass roof running down the middle. Ordinarily these would be largely obscured by foliage, but the plot has been emptied in anticipation of the 2027 closure for renovation. In the background another section is still full of foliage and a staircase up to the raised walkway is visible.

It looks like the emptying of the Palm House has begun in earnest 😔 I knew it was coming; they've been moving plants to a temporary greenhouse for months, ahead of 2027 closure for renovation.

Royal Botanic Gardens Kew looking absolutely stunning cut in the cloth of spring. Living up to its rightful place as one of the finest gardens in the world. #kewgardens #slowtravel #gardenvisits

Bud and or flower of some kind of tree. It has greenish and yellowish inside coming out of white and pink covers.

I've seen a small thing.

Cherry trees and tulips … who knew?

#KewinBloom #KewGardens

Close up of 3 purple flowers wide open with a background of general greenery.

"To crop or not to crop" is the question.

I like details on those, but most people won't zoom in to look (plus bsky will probably make them mushy)
But tight crop rarely looks good.

Blooming cherry flowers side lit by the low sun. More flowers and branches out of focus in the background.

Busy but potentially productive day at work.
In the meantime some more prettiness for you.

Should I sign up for some portraits workshop to get better at it and also confident? 🤔

Closed Tulip looking like a quintessential version of itself with pink outside transitioning through white to yellow. In the background there is blurry grass and toes of open white tulips.

Wow last few days were busy.
Enjoy a pretty flower in the meantime.

A gorgeous Holiday Monday in #KewGardens today 💚

A wide grassy area is overlooked by trees of various heights and leaf growth; a few family groups are sitting on the ground and a few people are walking along the path on the right. The sky is a delicate blue, laced with white vapour trails and wispy clouds.

Kew Gardens looking lovely today on a sunny Bank holiday. It's busy but doesn't feel crowded and we've just had an excellent lunch in the Orangery #KewGardens

Perfect day for a walk. Blossom is just going over but the tulips are ready to carry spring colour forward. Absolutely my favourite season! #bloomscrolling #kewgardens #spring

My favourite time of the year! Cherry blossoms are out and magnolias coming into full bloom. A stroll around Kew Gardens is perfect for a reset. #bloomscrolling #kewgardens

A family of geese nested pond-side at #KewGardens, #London in April 2019. The #gunnera plants surrounding the nest site were still sprouting fresh young foliage, but would fill out and surround the nest by midsummer, rendering it nearly invisible.

Orchids at Kew Gardens' Orchid Festival. These ones are red, pink and yellow with white knobbly centres.

Orchids at Kew Gardens' Orchid Festival. These ones are white with an orange-coloured inside that looks huge and maw-like.

Orchids at Kew Gardens' Orchid Festival. These ones are purple and pale yellow with long wiggly petals and a stamen in the centre that look like a little purple Muppet, I think.

Had a lovely day out at the #KewGardens Orchid Festival. Many, many pretty flowers! A lot of them were, as advertised, orchids!

A striking four-story red brick historic building, Kew Palace, is framed by an ornate stone well-head in the foreground. The well features a decorative blue and gold wrought-iron arch. The palace has symmetrical white-framed windows and sits behind low, perfectly manicured green box hedges under a soft, overcast sky. Captured by UK travel blogger Anamika Chattopadhyaya for her blog Everything Enchanting.

Standing tall in the heart of #KewGardens #London, the vibrant red #KewPalace was once the intimate family home of King George III and Queen Charlotte. If you're curious to know what's inside this #historical #palace, watch this full palace tour video 👉🏻

In the summer I visited @rbgkew.bsky.social, during my visit I also visited #ThePowerofTrees in the #SherwoodGallery. This exhibition was designed to help visitors connect with trees and help prevent us all from taking trees for granted. #KewGardens #Botany #Trees stevenallain.co.uk/Blog/scifri-...

Not me standing here waiting for a cinematic moment that probably won’t happen…
but the flowers are blooming anyway 🌸

Maybe that’s the real storyline. 💜
