Plants that we bought from Shineyland

Hey, the guys and gals who went to Shiney's open weekend, let's see your purchases / swaps! You never know, it might inspire some of the rest of us to make the trip next time!!
fern4, what a brilliant idea! here's what I came away with:

• Bowles Golden grass which will look soooo good with the next plant
• Lysimachia Pupurea
• Hebe "Mrs Winder" - lovely new growth of a dark ruby colour
• And finally...a generous "gift" of some of the Shineys' exclusive red Cowslips that I fell in love with

 

Thanks Jenny! It's been really nice reading about the good time everybody had but I thought other members of GC including myself would love to see the plants you all came away with.

Looks like you have a fine collection there Jenny.

 

what a beautiful picture!

 

Where can I read this??

I bought

a carnation, just about to flower
a Bowles' mauve erysimum
plus my cyperus papyrus from Kristen

The BF bought

tomatoes
a Cypriot cucumber
6 regular local boy cukes (of which I now have two!)

By the end the plant stall looked like a plague of locusts had been over!

 

I'll post a pic tomorrow (shamefully came way with 2 boxes full ) and I've forgotten half the names already

 

I've probably forgotten one or two but this is what I think I got

2 Chives
2 French Tarragon
1 Verbena (can't remember if I was told the variety)
3 Salvia Oxford Blue
3 Salvia Perovskia (I think) , all the Salvia's swapped with Kristen for my 3 Clivia clumps
1 clump of Red Valerian
Several London Pride cuttings
I large clump of Turkish Sage
and another clump that I need to ask Shiney for an Id for

 

Salvia forsskaolii - they'd better turn out to look as good as the seed catalogue description:

Plant World Seeds says: "Enormous hairy basal leaves form a base for an immense display of white-tongued vivid purple-blue flowers on long, strong branching stems. Spectacular."

 

Jenny that's a rather large "postage stamp" garden you have there I'd have a field (if you'll forgive the pun) day there lol. Just out of interest, it looks like i missed something here so what is Shineyland?

 

Just need to find somewhere to plant them now....the Nicotiana were from the plant swap...thanks Kristen
