Flowers of Ireland

The temperatures are not too cool, not too warm, there is a lot of rain, and a good amount of sun; is there any wonder that Ireland has truly outstanding gardens? It seems that every home we pass has colorful, and sometimes rare, blooms of plants that we either have trouble growing or can't grow as large in the states. The colors are so vivid! These pictures are from a variety of places and in no particular order! I finally just had to just stop loading pictures! My precious Grandma McFall would've been enthralled at this beauty!
