Twirling trees… this is the path that leads from the carpark at Larnach Castle to the Castle itself. We were there on Sunday afternoon and I was charmed by the tiered Cornus trees. To my fanciful mind they seemed to be twirling in spring delight. Whirling dervishes perhaps?! The carpet of snowdrops is still beautiful and I admired the perfect partnership of Cornus and snowdrops. The trees are Cornus controversa `Variegata’ (wedding cake tree) sporting new red shoots and first signs of emerging foliage.

Fabulous! I love the Cornus ‘dancers’, nice harmony of colour too.
