A profusion of water lilies

Profusion is a lovely word, isn’t it?  And certainly one you can apply to these water lilies.  Right now I’m feeling like I’ve had a profusion of summer days.  I know it can’t last but I love it. Recently I visited Burnby Hall Gardens, in the village of Pocklington in Yorkshire.  Home to the National Collection of over 100 varieties of water lily, it’s all about profusion.  Be prepared to be dazzled!

In case you hadn’t guessed, this is my entry for Paula’s Thursday’s Special.  ‘Pick a word’, says Paula.  I think she’d probably agree that it’s a ‘brilliant’ display.  And did you spot the heart?

    1. Sorry, Cathy- I’ve just noticed all your comments! Dad was here for a couple of hours then I had 10 more minutes in the garden before the sun moves too far round. Just researching and writing tomorrow’s post. 🙂 We visited some beautiful gardens this summer.
