Symphony of Flowers - Winchester Cathedral

Friday 14th June 2013

Today we had a girls trip out, me my mum and daughter!  We went to Winchester Cathedral to see the Symphony of Flowers - a flower festival - it was absolutely brilliant.  It's not really a nature note or observation of nature but I wanted to include a few photos in my blog anyway.  The arrangements were all around the cathedral, it was just full of flowers - (and people!).
Winchester Cathedral.

There were even flowers outside the cathedral.

An English Country Garden - pays tribute to Jane Austen whose tomb and memorial are in the photo.

It's amazing what you can do with lots of test tubes!

Masses of red roses with little gems intertwined.

Elegant lillies.

Abstract arrangements in the crypt. 

This was my favourite, we had to queue to get into the crypt as it only accommodated about six at a time but it was well worth it, very atmospheric and very calm. 

There were about fifty arrangements around the cathedral and these photos just show a handful.  My daughter nipped around and took these photos and we were both really pleased with them, especially as it was difficult to take photos without people in!
