Those gardens are magnificent. Looking at these pictures, I just came up with another batch of garden landscaping ideas. I hope I can do justice to my own humble garden. I love the landscape garden design of Altamont Gardens. The place has indeed rightfully earned the title of “the jewel of Ireland’s gardening crown.” When I visited Altamont a few years ago, I was enchanted by the plethora of beautiful plants and lush landscapes. Strolling through the garden’s walks, I imagined I was traveling in some magical fairy tale paradise, especially when I reached and saw the magnificent Altamont’s artificial lake. I must salute the landscape architects and the people who built that place. I haven’t been to Ireland for some time but I would sure like to visit the Altamont Gardens again. Oh my!

Re the Victoria, my ex-boss in Longwood, the curator Tomasz Anisko, is writing a book on Victorias. He's looking for other specimens to come and visit. It has an amazing story! Here's another shot for you - http://url.ie/vcr (sadly not in bloom). @bohoe and I’m truly envious of your photographic talents. :) If you’re thinking of doing Hort full-time do get in touch for a chat.

It really is an all-round-spectacular show! Thanks for the nice comments, Sara and Julian. :)

It's hard not to think of doing a runner back to Annes Grove, where some passionate gardeners of independent means could find plenty to keep them busy. I know how I'll answer the clichéd question if I ever win the lotto. Thank you, Debbie, for a bright spell on a dull day.
