The day after Sandy arrived and the day before we flew off to adventures in France, we made a visit to RHS Wisley Gardens.

| One of the winners in the RHS Photographer of the Year competition - I rather liked this |
 |
| This was by Nigel Chapman and won Gold. I went on a couple of Nigel's photography courses at Wisley this year - you can see his influence in some of my photographs of leaves. |
The following photographs were taken in the new Tropical Garden at Wisley. I love this style of gardening.

| Look - a pelargonium: Pelargonium "Voodoo" |

| I'd love one of these bronze lilies in my garden |
You can't help but love the zingy colours of coleus

| Just look at the size of that pelargonium - it's peppermint scented "Chocolate Tomentosum" |
