So what do you do when it gets a little cool wandering around gardens? - head for the greenhouse and enjoy the shelter and warmth in there!

The greenhouse at Goddards isn't very large but it contains an interesting variety of plants and succulents, many of which I was unfamiliar with.

The online plant identifier that I use suggests that this is a purple trumpetleaf plant, though I'm happy to be corrected if any of you know better!

I rather liked the patterns on this plant, and I regret not taking a few very close macro shots, but that will have to wait for a future visit.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

I have to confess that my first thought was 'Triffid', as in the John Wyndham novel Day of the Triffids. Fortunately these lovely plants are nowhere near as unpleasant as the triffids in the book!
