The Garden center - a place for plant and gardening fans.

OK, It's true I'm a bit of a plant fanatic and I love taking pictures of great gardens and plants. I'm sure there must be many here who do the same.  I hope this thread can be enjoyed and appreciated by a wide range of people.  I also hope people can ask for and give gardening tips and advice (not that I'm any sort of expert).

C'mon share your pics of outdoor and indoor plants and great garden scenes.

Hey Zander, where possible, could you please give us the common name of the plants? Especially close ups. I for one would appreciate it.

Thanks
