I know what I'm 'going' to buy on Monday, hopefully ; our local florist had just had a delivery of about a dozen or so Canna plants, all looking very healthy, just coming into flower (a gorgeous very bright red/orange flower) and suckering well, they were about 4-5ft in height and just £5 each..., unfortunately as they'd just come in for some reason the lady in the shop said they won't be out for sale until Monday???

 

Al n , is just a local nursery who`s actually near one of the expencive nursery and they have some really nice price......you should stay away

Bilbo be careful if you buy cannas many are infected and they will infect you stock.

they had a really strange palm looking like a date palm but it was in a really small pot and the leaves where about 8 feet .
almost looking like that but really long leaves .

 

I'd like to NOT stay away! can you tell me where it is please?

 

It`s the garden center in willington , no frost Gc the other called home and garden ,

Went and got myself another Washington robusta today, along with 2 heuchera, 2 coleus and another dahlia. Good price too :-)

 

Well I wandered down to the florist mentioned this morning to buy the Canna and was getting slightly worried by the fact that I passed three people carrying them, surely they must have some left, there were about a dozen or so. When I got there i found three left, so I quickly chose the best of the remaining plants, paid and came home - happy days

Not sure on the variety? as the label just simply has Canna on it, the leaves have a purple/bronze tinge to them and the flower is bright orange/red (the photo doesn't do it justice)

 

Fuchsia cuttings are the future armandii just in case you wasnt aware of that hint hint x

 

No doubt it will turn out to be a domestic sin, punishable by hours of washing up ...

Some Begonia Rex I "Couldn't afford not to have" ... and a couple of Stretocarpus that found their way onto the order from somewhere! (From Dibleys)

I was thinking the Begonias could bed-out in the shaded part of the Exotic garden next year. Streptocarpus - I only own one, that's clearly not enough!

 

oh i like your style .... must remember to pm my addie to someone

 

Havent really brought much plant wise this year but I did have this back in April
