Book Launch in a Spring garden

 Western Path around the house "The Shambles"

In spite of nearly 2 months without rain the garden is green and mature shrubs and trees and bursting with colour. Brunfelsia latifolia and B. americana are in flower as is white may and the Wisteria. Epiphytic Orchids are flowering and in bud . The Eupatorium megalophyllum is covered in purple flowers. It seems that purple an white will be the colour theme for our garden party.
