Sissinghurst Castle (UK)

Ok, so its not the first garden you think of as being exotic. But if you head to the ?cottage garden? it isn't what you'd anticipate. There's lots of hot colours that were banished from the white garden. Sorry I'm a bit vague on idents, I visited the garden almost 18 months before posting these 'photos.
