Botanical Wonders

Our front garden Bluedgrass Magnolia Magnolia 2 Magnolia 3 Hole Phoenix Pagoda Tree Will and Elaine Dr Shirley Paintbox Will For Caroline 1 For Caroline 2 For Caroline 3 Rivulet Shadows   We drove across to Kew for lunch with Will (Rosenzweig), then took a long saunter around the Gardens in glorious sun.  One magnolia tree was a revelation.  Spent a fair time on the Princess of Wales Greenhouse, taking photographs for Caroline to paint, possibly.  A long time ago, when SustainAbility’s logo was a trigram (representing the triple bottom line) and a spiral (representing life, evolution and creativity), I took pictures of spirals everywhere I went.  Today there was only one.  But there was a phoenix, too, in the Japanese pavilion.  Then back to work on a slide presentation on the Phoenix Economy – which I plan to use at SustainAbility on Monday and then at the Skoll World Forum later in the week.
