Bedgebury Pinetum - August 2015
Only the second time I've been to Bedgebury and both times it's rained.
Changing lenses was not a good idea so just used a 20mm Nikon. Camera and lens got pretty wet but both survived. The main concern was keeping rain spots off the front of the lens. 1/3 sec at f9 iso 100 |

Trebah - March 2015
March 2015
Most of the tree ferns at Glendurgan and Trebah have had their leaves removed in an attempt to control scale insect.
Note the Cyathea in the photo hasn't had its leaves removed, possibly because these tree ferns are less tolerant of losing their leaves or maybe it isn't susceptible to scale, also this specimen is one of the finest in the country growing outdoors.
