Beautiful {Kew Gardens) Layout

One of my scrappy goals for this year is to finish scrapping all the photos from a 2017 trip my hubby and I took to London. Since we took thousands of photos, and I haven't been very consistent with scrapping them, it's taken almost nine years to scrap the first nine days of the trip, and I now have five days of photos left, so wish me luck in getting them done before the ten year anniversary of our trip rolls around! On the day I am scrapping now, we went to the lovely Kew Gardens in outer London, so here is a layout showing some of the beautiful wildflowers we saw.

Here are a couple close-ups so you can see the details:
