Each are unique and well done. What is the Eden project?



The Eden Project is probably the biggest tourist attraction in Cornwall (UK), a place that holidaymakers love - and equally local people dislike.

The place has had £millions and £millions of local and EU taxpayers money given to it, money that would have been much better spent on other local attractions that are considered to be much better than the Eden Project anyway.

But the Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan (owned by the same people) get all the publicity.

The Eden Project is a classic case of 'The Emporer's new clothes' - because it's on the TV people automatically believe that it's wonderful.

Wonderful set, Val, of beautiful and some very unique flowers!!! What is the last flower?


Thank you very much Angela, and for the thumbups, I do not know what the last flower is but it is an open one of no 3. It was in the Mediterranean biome so maybe some one knows what it is..

This was a post of my pictures of the flowers I took at the Eden Project and Stan wished to know what the Eden Project was, not your personal views on why you do not like it...

Thank you very much Randy, it is a very interesting place to go and see, they do a lot of things in the school holidays for the kids and schools go on trips there...

To me, the Eden Project has all the charm and intimacy of a rust belt bus station - and being as this is a forum of different opinions, I thought that I'd add my thoughts about the place.

Thank you very much Donna, It certainly is a great place to visit. They grow a lot of produce which they use in the buffet style restaurant and they make everything there even the bread.. All water is recycled and used for watering sprays in the bioms and for the loos.. You could stay there all day and they have concerts on some evenings. I have lots of pictures as I have been going for a few years now... The plantas and flowers in the grounds change with the seasons...

Sounds wonderful, Val, and I'd love to see more of your pictures.

While each is unique and beautiful in its own way, #4 really stands in a class by itself to me. I think the different height levels and character of these flowers really catch the eye. 👍
