          No pics, there's nothing to see at the moment, but I've had delivery of Viburnum farreri 'December Dwarf', Penstemon Sour Grapes and Appleblossom, and Hepatica nobilis, all from Hayloft plants.
          Also two hardy Geraniums - G himalayense and 'Rozanne' which I ordered on ebay.

          Spending too much now, I must stop :biggrin:
          But I'll be going to Carmarthen soon and I don't think I'll be able to keep away from Farmyard Nurseries behind the market :nonofinger:

            Naughty @Michael Hewett - I always have a wander around their plants too! And I somehow always manage to find something I HAVE to buy...

                    J took me to the Garden Center this morning and I got this colourful mix (barring the pink Cyclamen in the back) ...

                    Flores Mix  29 Jan 24(1).jpg

                    I am particularly delighted with the Rhododendron 'Helmut Vogel' which I understand is an Azalea, and I have been looking for many years for one with a picotee edge.. Also unique is a Cyclamen 'Merinque' which has fringed petals.

                    So tomorrow morning I shall find pots to home these beauties.

                        Thank you Michael. I thought it was Springlike and cheerful. :smile:
                        Do you have any of these curly Cyclamen?

                          No I don't @Victoria, I've never seen ones like that. They are unusual and quite attractive.

                                Thanks @Victoria I'm glad you like it, it's just over a foot tall (i.e. the plant without the pot)
                                It's cousin Polyscias balfouriana, which I've had a few years, is 2ft and a few inches tall.
