I recently visited the RHS gardens at Wisley in Surrey. I particularly wanted to see the tropical glasshouse. This is a modern structure, only opened in 2007. It's a huge building, 12 metres high and covering 'an area of 10 tennis courts'. So even in the hot zone (and in a mask) it didn't give the claustrophobia can sometimes accompany a trip to the palm houses at the Botanic Gardens or Kew.
I spent a lot of time focussing on the shapes and textures of the leaves. I was less keen on all the green, and there was a lot of green (I sound like Ann), so I decided to turn all the images mono.
