01/06/15 Blooming two weeks later than normal, but just in time to mark the start of 'flaming June', the Laburnum arch at Bodnant Gardens has finally bust into flower. The world famous walk-through archway near Conwy in North Wales, is visited by over 50, 000 people during the month when it is flower. The arch was one of the first things to be planted by Henry Pochin, the garden's creator in 1882 - although he died before ever seeing it flower. It is 55 metres long, made up of 48 plants and takes two gardeners up to a month, in January at the coldest time of year, to prune the arch. Holding everything together are approximately 6, 000 reef knots, all tied in one direction. All parts of laburnum are poisonous. Symptoms of laburnum poisoning include sleepiness, vomiting, convulsions, and frothing at the mouth. However, moths use it as a food and bees absolutely adore laburnum.
