Plant of the Day

Union Terrace Gardens is a green space in Aberdeen’s city centre. It was originally opened in 1879, but the gardens were redesigned and reopened in December 2022. On a sunny terrace a pink flowered cultivar of Monarda (bee balm, bergamot, Oswego tea) was adding to the new display and was popular with pollinators.

‘Cloud’ was a tribute to Scotland’s most ubiquitous invention – the incandescent light bulb. The interactive sculpture was created from 6,000 light bulbs to form a cloud of light.       #unionterracegardens #spectrafestivaloflight #beautifulabdn #lifeinthedeen #visitaberdeen #visitaberdeenshire #instaaberdeen #visitabdn #insta_scotland #igersscotland #loves_united_scotland #scotlandsites #scotspirit #visitscotland #artwatchers #artinstallation #artiseverywhere #beautifulart #tailormadeitineraries #willjourney #welltravelled #passportexpress #passionpassport #acolostory #colorhunters #colorfulart #iloveart #wanderlust #travelblogger #worldplaces   (at Spectra Festival)

Plant of the Day

Friday 11 August 2023

In the Union Terrace Gardens, Aberdeen, the cheerful yellow flowers are probably the herbaceous perennial Achillea 'Moonshine' (yarrow). The grey, feathery foliage is adapted for a sunny site and is drought-tolerant. This cultivar is more resistant to flopping over than other Achillea cultivars.

I love graffiti art. Every so often, the designs seem to change down here. It's right in the center of the city too which means I don't have to venture far to take a photograph. 📷 #graffiti #graffitiart #girl #woman #glasses #youth #art #portrait #composition #canonphoto #canoneosm10 #unionterracegardens #Aberdeen #Scotland #innercity #cool #落書き #女の子 #女性 #スコットランド #都心 (at Union Terrace Gardens)
