[Photos] UK 17 - Royal Botanic Edinburgh Garden, Greenhouses Part 3

[moonvoice]

Okay, it's going to take me a month to put up these photos but I am DETERMINED.

Glen and I finished Good Omens over the weekend! I really enjoyed it. I knew I was going to love Tennant, but what I didn't expect was how much I just loved Sheen as Aziraphale, as far as I'm concerned, he stole the show. We've also started watching Chihayafuru again, in preparation for the third season coming out. And today we started watching American Gods S2 which is actually terrible, way more exploitatively violent than it needs to be (I mean for no other reason than to literally be like 'look how cool our special effects team is haha aren't people gross'), but excellent for doing cross-stitch to, lol.


These are very soft to walk through.












Tbh I kind of wanted to live in the greenhouses except the humidity, but still, beauty like this is very tempting.



So many Lotads! (Pokemon reference)







This orchid was 'hiding away' in that no one was noticing it, because it was actually up higher than some of the other things and it camouflaged remarkably well. But it's so beautiful!















Echeveria. I actually only know this because a friend of mine has recently massively gotten into indoor plants, and Echeveria were high on the list, so I took pictures specifically for them.






Next! We drive upwards to Inverness, but first, we have to stop at Falkirk to glimpse the incredible Kelpies.

I have not laughed as loud or as long in some time as I did with Aziraphale dropping one resigned “oh fuck” at the end of the one episode <3

That purple orchid is particularly lovely. I also like the red flowers at the end. Something about the colour makes them look like they're made out of wax (are they translucent, or is that the lighting?).

Not translucent, just really delightfully kind of backlit / limned by the sun. Honestly we did have really lovely lighting while we were here, creating some amazing moments. I imagine it's quite different (but still beautiful) when it's cloudy. But with the sun out, and the darker leaves reflecting the light too, it was pretty special.
