Had (probably) the last trip of the year to RHS Hyde Hall at the weekend.  They were holding a craft fair and a Women's Institute exhibition - Christmas trees decorated with recycled stuff. 

Lots of lovely autumn colours....



Lots of flowers still blooming...



Plants all wrapped up for winter...





And buds on the rhododendrons!  They don't normally bloom until May and here it is December!  They're going to get a shock when we get a cold snap...
