Such a great atmosphere @KewGardens today! Huge visitor excitement around the new giant water lily #Victoria boliviana described as new to science yesterday. All three species grown to perfection in one pool. It's unmissable! @Plantmessiah @palmsmithy @KewScience

Roses aren’t normally my favorite flower, but the beauties at @kewgardens sure are working hard to convince me! The rose garden smells heavenly—wish I could share that with you all too!
