Your travel dreams sound wonderful POE!
I usually time my trips abroad to coincide with the blooms being in the highest time too
In the UK, different blooms happen at different times:
- Camellias (seen in a lot of gardens and in Central London) can be seen around March-April I think
- The cherry blossoms and magnolia tree blossoms I think are often early in spring - around mid to late April - maybe early May.
- Bluebells are from early April to early May
- Rapeseed oil / oilseed rape yellow flower fields can be seen in the countryside around May-June
- Poppy fields with red flowers can be seen in the countryside around mid-June-July
- Roses perhaps depend on the variety but are often later in the summer - maybe around June-August.
- Not flowers, but blackberry season is late August-September where there are lots of bushes all around the countryside and even in London in parks and green areas where you can pick blackberries.
I can confirm that Brighton, Bath, the Cotswolds, places along the South coast and Oxford are all lovely to visit!
The Chelsea Flower Show and the Eden Project have both been on my wish list to see for a while too Sissinghurst, Great Dixter and Stourhead I haven't heard of but will have to check them out! Thank you for the inspiration of places I haven't heard of and now want to visit!
Enjoy your time with the family
