| The gardens have several pools in which the plants are wonderfully reflected on a still day. | 
|

| Streams create shady habitats for a variety of plants besides the rhododendrons. |

| Exbury is also home to a wide range of interesting trees to complement the flowering shrubs. |
| If the brilliant contrasts of colours become too much for you, concentrate on the intricate beauty of individual flowers. |  |

| The young foliage can be as dramatic as the flowers. |
| Exbury
has other delights to offer. These are surely the longest racemes of
wisteria flowers you ever saw. And in the bog garden there's a huge
grove of gunnera just emerging. |  |
