Welcome to the Flower Forest ...

Imagine yourself walking on a winding path through a forest created by nature but gently nudged by man. A jungle?….not quite.

The humidity and smell of damp soil rises up and takes you into a world of wonder as you turn a corner to see a spectacular cluster of Heliconia (some varieties are referred to as bird of paradise). Brilliant in colour against a green backdrop and a waxy, almost plastic feel to them, they never fail to impress.

Just around the next corner are begonias, three feet high with leaves the size of your hand.

The variety of plants and species along with the infinite shades of green interspersed by colours that only nature can produce, make it a difficult job to choose what to look at first. The plants towering above you could be the very same plants you may have in your home if you live in Europe, the UK, or North America. For those who are interested, most plants are labelled with botanical and common names.
