In 2007 we popped down to visit Luke's dad and managed a second visit to Eden. The glass domes, each hosting a different growing experience are very impressive to view from inside and out - no wonder they used them for a James Bond stunt.
This is where we realised the value of great swaths of the same plant as well as growing huge specimens. Luke discovered two of his favourite ever flowers here (Cerinthes) and now he always grows them, although the chicks often beat him to the Cerinthes and we end up with spindly little plants with their buds pecked out! The photo shows Salvia Patens Blue; it is a beautiful little plant, shown here as one of thousands - oh to have that kind of land and money!
