This week's bench is at the Moorbank Botanic Garden of Newcastle University. What a prime location from which to watch the Dance of the Gunnera!Bench of the Week was begun by RuneE of Visual Norway. Do visit his blog to see his amazingly beautiful bench. Other interesting bench posts can be found on the blogs of: Barbara Martin, PERBS, Malyss, Gerald England and Mad Aunt Bernard.
I have been watching the Gunnera manicata grow at the Durham University Botanic Garden.
Today the light was shining through the huge leaves.
As they reach up to the light, the spiky stems gleam.
Emerging leaves like dancers' hands ...
"Yoo-hoo, I'm here!"
Sometimes merry-looking in dance ...Or sober green and silver with Anthriscus.
And here, at Newcastle's Moorbank Botanic Garden, a complementary green umbrella to the brilliant red poppy. *
