Wandering around Trelissick Gardens (Cornwall) in the springtime I came across the house (now open to the public) and this fabulous orangery. Those of you who follow my Earth Laughs in Flowers blog know how much I love flowers and glasshouses – my dream house would have an orangery. Sadly that is not likely to happen as I don’t have the cash for such an addition. Still I can dream. And in the meantime I can drool over buildings such as this. Just look at that stone mullioned full-length bay window and leaded panes.
And ornate entrance with Ionic columns and their beautiful scrolled capitals
Curved bay window from the inside
Orchids
Ornate fanlight
Curves through the window
Colourful pots
And a lemon tree
A windowsill of geraniums
Capturing the view
That curved bay window
Approaching the Orangery
