Whilst the Festival does not start until Saturday most of the displays
were already done yesterday when we took a stroll round Kew so here are
some photos...

You do take excellent photos! I like the pink 'exploding' basket and the
large tower covered in orchids. Some of the hanging baskets are too bare
but I like the square box with a sort of feathery white flower coming from
it. Which is that?

Thank you, just getting used to a new camera, a proper one, so I have to
think again instead of it all being automatic.
Some of the baskets do look a bit bare especially at the bottom but they
hadn't finished all the displays so maybe they will do something about it.
The large tall towers are actually wrapped around the support columns for
the greenhouse.
The orchid in the hanging wooden box is Dendrochilum formosanum with white
flowers there is also one D. filiforme with yellow flowers.
