Recent trip to Eden Project

I visited the Eden Project to take part in a Botanical Painting 3 day course (will post about that soon) whilst there I took some photos with my newly acquired camera, Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II. It was an ideal place to test it out with a wealth of beautiful flowers and plants.

Beautiful Ranunculus Flower

Echeveria Succulent Plant, I love its geometry.

Climbing Sorrel (Begonia Glabra)

Just love the contrast of this lime and purple foliage

Mysore Clock Vine Flower

Another lovely Orange Ranunculus

Another lovely contrast between Purple tulip and mint coloured leaves

Some fancy Tulips!

Cute little air plants

Whilst visiting the Eden Project last week I bought some super cute Airplants (Tillandsias) as I have wanted some of them for ages! You can buy them online as well, from lovetillys. I planted one in a vintage Hornsea egg cup (I had wanted to find a use for these for a while!) and one in a latte bowl from Anthropologie. Then I put some pebbles I had collected from the beach around them, super :)
