Kew Gardens

Pissarro's Kew Gardens - Path between the Pond and the Palm House


This time, we missed the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Kew Gardens at wiki). What a pity! I really wanted to Explore the treetops.

Maybe we can visit in 2009 - Happy 250th birthday Kew!

Here is an amazing Virtual Tour.


And some beautiful images:


A 1,000-square-metre rink, with space for 250 to skate at a time, in front of the Temperate House. See Christmas at Kew.

Cranberries

More than five million cranberries were floated on giant booms on a pond at Kew Gardens in October as part of the gardens' autumn festival. This bird found itself swimming through them. From England's year in pictures at BBC, 2006.


Victoria Regia in Amazonia

These giant waterlilies have leaves that are up to 3 m in diameter. We missed them in Amazonia in 2000!
