The Gatehouse
Lanhydrock in Cornwall is famous for its large collection of magnolias – a shrub with a well-deserved reputation as a garden aristocrat. They have over 120 varieties growing in the gardens.
The fabulous formal parterre brings a real touch of grandeur to the gardens.

Earth laughs in flowers 
Missed one! And it looks glorious 🙂 🙂 How far is this one from you?
Quite a distance – about an hour’s drive.
That’s pretty close for a day out 🙂 🙂
It is when you are not the driver and having to concentrate on the road! Actually this place is one of the easiest to get to, a lot of the others involves less direct routes.
I love magnolias, and I am totally enamoured of the garden. Beautiful images Jude.
