Flowers and Trees in the Botanic Garden

After visiting the Freewheeling exhibition the other weekend, we wandered on to the Botanic Garden in Edinburgh.  It was gloriously sunny, which made it great for photography.  So here are some gorgeous flower and tree photos.  I'm not a gardener or botanist, so I have no idea what they are, I just enjoy the colours, textures and shapes.

I take lots of photos of flowers and trees but they rarely make it into my artwork - one day they will feed through as inspiration, but I still have to get the rocks and stones out of my system first!
