Plants you regret planting

Martin, have fun with them.
My conifers are in orthodox columns, domes, mounds and cones. However, a taxus fastigiata...the Irish Yew......is meant to be trained as a comical human character; the arms to support a hoe or something. All to add a laugh to the garden

 

I bet it looks fantastic Verdun,

One day in the near future will you please share photos of your garden, you keep giving us little teasers and its not good enough

I want something to drool over .

 

I have thought this too Martin-f . And not just pics of closeups of individual plants but the whole garden please Verdun

 

I have posted pics on the forum
Sure, I will post more
The whole garden Lucius!!
, I struggle to take spot pictures.
My nephew has taken videos though.....

 

Pics or videos or both Verdun .

 

Friend of mine gave me a small pot of Kalanchoe tubiflora. This is the Madagascan species that forms plantlets on its leaves, which drop off to form new plants.
I stupidly put it in my greenhouse. My entire cactus collection has been taken over by them. And the problem is, as I chop them off, the plantlets drop off the leaves and just start more plants elsewhere.

 

Hi @Sirius in future mate...check up on what's entering your greenhouse if anything else is given to you...so sorry to hear about your collection

 

@Verdun could you expand on this portion of your post a little?

 

Here's something I regret planting, but not for the usual reasons! Last summer I picked up a pack of ten tulip bulbs whilst in Amsterdam. Planted them in a deep pot, wondering if any of them would come up. To my delight all ten did. Took the mesh off the top of the pot on Thursday as the shoots were touching it. When I went out into the garden this morning I found the following crime had been committed.


My mum says it will have been squirrels. I think it was this one....

 

@Irmemac I totally agree with your mom..the cheeky little so and so's used to sit on our decking of a morning munching away at my bottle brushes as sweet as you like ...soon stuck them in the garden then

 

@Gail_68 That must have been so frustrating! A squirrel once stole a chocolate bar from my husband in the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Ran up a tree and sat tearing the wrapping off. My poor husband could only pick up the shredded wrapping and pt it in the bin. The squirrel ate the whole bar whilst watching him.....

 

@IrmemacI must have opened my mouth to soon on here the other week on about not seeing them in 2yrs...clocked one yesterday morning and yes they are cheeky, they'll destroy anything

​

 

Grey Squirrels should NOT be released back into the wild, it's against the law! They should be destroyed humanely. They are an introduced species that have had an almost catastrophic impact on our native Red Squirrel, I shoot them as that is deemed humane. Hate the tree rats! Love our native Reds (Tuftys).
