                      Lovely! Are those Bluebells in flower in one of the pics? The topiary is indeed fun and the ponds beautiful. :)

                      What is this thing that looks like a giant climbing Hungry Catepillar? It looks very interesting but I can't figure out what part of a plant it might be, a seedpod or a fruit perhaps?

                          yes, a type of caterpillar , he told me the name, did not write it down. Yes, inside a butterfly house. Blue Bells? not sure, doubt it, truly don't think they bloom this late . None of the plants had an ID on them. I just knew several from what I have in my garden. Its a very old garden can tell by the spread of the hardy begonias and the fall anemines, and the extra wayward calicarpia. not like the well structure Longwood gardens that is 20 mins from my house, all prim and proper.
