Goodnestone

While we were in the gardens at Goodnestone, we found this plant in one of the borders and identified it using a phone app called PlantNet.

It's Acidanthera Murielae or Abyssinian Gladiolus.

We ordered one mail order and a few weeks later it flowered! I wasn't expecting flowers until next year.



The Fitzwalter Arms in Goodnestone was the first pub we'd been into since they all re-opened. It was a strange experience partly because they had a perspex screen at the bar with a hole at the bottom to pass you your drinks - but it wasn't tall enough for a wine glass!
