Thank you all for your comments and votes on the cactus, taken in the same place Dyffryn House Gardens, the man in the background is playing Croquet on the lawn, the house see V4 was in the hands of the local authority and was being left to rot, it has now been put in the hands of the National Trust and renovations have started, so now some hopes of rescue.

Some fine flower borders around the house, Trev, and of these my favourite is V 3 with ballustraded wall and stone urn as a backdrop.
Fine view of the house itself and so good to know the National Trust now have it under it's care and that it is not being allowed to decay further.......the facade in this view does look to be in very good order, and with a new slate roof?
Ronnie.
And a very fine garden it is , beautifully portrayed here.
Four rather beautiful images, which I would love to learn more about. The pristine flower beds certainly put mine to shame, with their palette of gorgeous colours. However I think the fine architecture and sheer opulence depicted in versions 3 and 4 have be somewhat bowled over.

They've found a pretty good gardener as well, beautifully done beds. I do like v3 with the diagonal aspect of the ballustrade leading to the urn, which gives a dynamic to the image. Well captured set, Trev.

Beautiful images Trev, looks a lovely location,
Fred.
What a super looking place, let's hope it gets rescued from rotting away. A cracking colourful set here Trev

I like the composition of v3 very much - how wonderful that the National Trust is taking on the house in v4
Love the colourful borders - so beautifully laid out in height order
