Thanks, Loli, it should contrast with some Hostas around it.
It seems strange buying plants when have grown them at work for the last thirty plus years.

 

Love the euphorbia and the oxalis Strongy

 

Me too Got a couple of them, and lots of cuttings under-the-bench, fingers crossed for them

Got a bit carried away today as "bulbs" were half price - those Taylor's packet things, bone dry ... hopefully I haven't wasted my money, but I sorted through the pile carefully to try to find ones that were sprouting and still firm ...

4 x [Bearded] Iris Black Dragon
4 x Nerine Codora (which will hopefully be a decent Red for my "Hot Border")

6 x Lilium Nerone - a 6' tall chap, and again hopefully a red suitable for the hot border
6 x Lilium Casa Blanca, which should be aout 4' tall

All for £16.50

 

just bought a lovely acer benishichihenge (beautiful!!) and a pieris forest flame.
i'll get a pic up of the acer when i get home, its a stunner!

 

here she is:-

 

I got me a Sambucus today.....that's your fault Strongy
I also got a couple of ferns and a nepeta....i'm still after some gypsophilia though

 

Black Lace perhaps? (Is that the one which is/was/is now??? called "Eva" perhaps? Dunno why they can't stick to a name ... )

 

Yes Black Lace Kristen...i love it

 

Loli, shame you can't make it to Shineyland on Saturday coz then you could blame me personally!!

Acer Beni Maiko, couldn't resist the bright red new foliage.

 

Yes i could have....don't mention Shineyland....it depresses me

 

As you say .. next year.

 

Have you not tried growing gypsophilia from seed? Just chuck it in the ground and it comes up brilliantly.

 

Went to our little nursey for people with learning difficulties. Always a cheery welcome and a happy, carefree atmosphere. They grow lovely plants, mostly £1 per pot and a goodly variety of annuals and perrenials too. They are called Friary Gardens, St Leonards on sea and there is a webpage.This lot (6 red geraniums and 10 misc.) came to £13 so someone couldn't count !! Window boxes and planters around the grounds to do ,ready for the Britain in Bloom judging on July 15th- category "It's your neighbourhood". Have won top prize for the last 2 consecutive years.
