Floral – Ryan Garden Photography

On our recent trip back to Aberdeen to visit family and friends we took some time out to visit the Botanical Gardens at the University of Aberdeen’s Zoology campus; Cruickshank Botanic Garden. The gardens were in bloom with many different flowers and plants, their collection of Giant Thistles is what captured my attention.

These red flowers I will be … More Botanical
