Monthly Flowering Favourite from the gardens
October blossoming favourite:
A wonderful purple flowering surprise in the Findhorn gardens: the Autumn Crocus, botanical name Crocus nudifloris or Colchicum. This plant resembles the Spring crocus, but grows in Autumn in the northern hemisphere . Another name for it is 'naked lady'.
November 2010 favourite:
A travel image: There is a wood full of cactus "Cardónes" in the north-west of Argentina and they just started to flower.
December 2010 favourite:
In an early winter full of snow these colourful leaves stood out in Park Garden at the Findhorn Foundation
Have a look at all favourite flower photos of 2010.
