Lily ponds and ducklings

We met this proud mum and her darling brood on our way to the Kew Garden lily pond.

The lily pond is idyllic and the canny coots have called dibs on this prime location.

The giant lily in the lily house is as flamboyant as the sensitive mimosa is bashful.

The entrance and gangways of the lily house are strung with resplendent melons, chilies and aubergines and it is at this point that we had to concede to ourselves...

greenhouse envy, we has it!

And, the proud peacock knows it too. So we used it as an excuse to cheer ourselves up with homemade gelati from the fantasy icecream parlour. Yum.
