[Photos] UK 13 - Edinburgh, Royal Botanic Garden Part 1

I nearly didn't make it to the RBGE (Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) due to my health. I had to stop multiple times on the walk there and we needed to get a taxi back. Additionally, unlike say, Kings Park, it's gated and there's only one official entry and exit, across opposite sides of the park, which means basically that you end up really suffering if you need to get out and don't necessarily have the energy to do so.

But this was still one of the most beautiful places I went and I'm so glad I did. I had no idea of the scope of the park, and the greenhouses were so amazing they will get their own posts. It was like paradise, and for a short while, I was energised despite being so sore.

I think I read somewhere that Edinburgh had the highest number of rhododendrons in terms of different species of like any Botanic Garden in the northern hemisphere but I can't actually find the information to confirm that so anyway let's just leave it at: they have a lot of rhododendrons. Most of which were in flower when we went.

I loved them, and spent a lot of time enjoying them.



Guess what, it's a rhododendron.
