    Thought I would start a Thread in case anyone has / wants any plants shiney open day

    I have one or two spares of each of these Tomatoes. They are rather leggy I'm afraid:

    Black Cherry
    Black Krim
    Floridity
    Golden Sunrise
    New Girl
    Pink Brandywine
    Rosada
    Sungella
    Yellow Pear Beams

    I have a very small number of spares of these, so only any good for someone needing one or two, or perhaps wanting to trial something:
    Angelica gigas
    Cyperus papyrus
    Leonotis nepetifolia (and "Beau Apricot" variety)
    Nicotiana langsdorffii
    Nicotiana sylvestris
    Salvia forsskaolii
    Salvia patens Oxford Blue
    Solanum Laciniatum

    Small seedlings of:
    Eucalyptus glaucescens
    Eucalyptus nitens

    I am growing a variety of Amarantus. Haven't looked to see which ones I ahve spares of, but as a starter here are the varieties I'm growing:

    Amaranthus caudatus Red
    Amaranthus Cruentus Tower Red
    Amaranthus Dreadlocks caudatus gibbosus
    Amaranthus Fat Spike
    Amaranthus Foxtail
    Amaranthus gangeticus

    Tetrapanax papyrifer
    Paulownia tomentosa

      Sweetpeas
      Perrenial Poppy "Popeye!
      Corn Flowers - Blue and White
      Holly Hock
      Bears Breeches
      Various Mints
      Chives

      Asters

      Kristen, Mrs Shiney would like an Angelica, please. :dbgrtmb: She says she has put aside another Hoya for you, if you want it, and this one is white flowered, small leafed and a trailing variety (nowhere near as big as the last one but a good few years old). It's getting ready to flower. The sister one of the plant you had last year is in full bloom now :blue thumb:

      ARMANDII, She says she would like Slomon's Seal and Poppy Popeye. :dbgrtmb: You can have a look at what's available when you get here.

      I'm really sorry shiney but I've had to re-arrange my holiday plans due to work commitments so I won't be passing yours that weekend after all. Totally gutted as I would love to see your garden :-(

        Or an arm-twist to get a private tour eh? :)

        Done :)

        Thanks for the White Hoya that will be lovely. I've got several now thanks to generosity of folk here, but none have flowered White as yet, so that would be a lovely addition :)

          "Assorted" as I don't know what colour they will be...apart from the green leaves:heehee:


          Tell Mrs Shiney that "to hear is to obey" and I will reserve them for her.:snork:

            Alas, I have nothing to "swap" (due to a number of unforeseen circumstances, things haven't worked out as planned in the gardening department ) :frown:

            But, I have saved plenty of pennies to swap plants with :dbgrtmb:

                Not to worry on that score. How about you can drop something into Shiney's kitty if there is anything of mine you are after?
