      I have some spares of the following, let me know if you would like any and I'll bring them with me.

      Echium russicum
      Echium wildpretii
      Eucalyptus glaucescens
      Eucalyptus nitens
      Hemerocallis Destined to See
      Sophora davidii

      Single white Brugmansia - its about 6' tall and in a 25L-ish pot. If you can get it in your can you are welcome to it and it will give you a flying start with a Brug. I've got more than enough of this variety :)

      I have probably a dozen of each Eucalyptus, they are in 9" pots and needing potting on. They will benefit from being planted out when small as they establish much better than if they are potted on and then planted out.

      Hi Kristen,

      Mrs Shiney says she would like the Sophora (we only have the yellow one), Hemerocalis, Eucalyptus glaucescens.

      She also wonders whether the euonymous have taken as she has a lot to prune back at the moment and could bring loads of cuttings for you. Some of them have grown over 2ft on the plants since last time!

      I'll post, later, a list of plants that we could bring with us if people want them. :blue thumb:

      I only have the one spare Hemerocalis, so that's now out of stock :)

      I have plenty of Eucalyptus - I'll assume you want 3 to make a clump, let me know if you need more / less.

      So far ... very few have failed. Quite a few have some new growth on them, but that's not proof-positive that they have rooted ... but so far so good.

      If it isn't a lot of trouble I could do with some more. I reckon the knot garden I am thinking of may well need more plants. The bucket of water transport seems to work well last time :) as they were in good shape when I came to preparing them.

      Thanks :blue thumb:

      We can bring loads for you. Do you want both silver and gold?

      Also, Mrs Shiney says, do you want this dark red weigelia for your red border?

      Well, maybe not that exact plant as it's over 7ft high and 5ft wide, but you can have one - definitely (or maybe two if we have them) of its babies.

      No, you can't come round with your digger and get the parent! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

      Apologies as I've been away for a week and not been keeping up. Just to clarify are we talking about next Sunday 11th August at 2pm at East Ruston? That's good for us.

      Me and Mrs JWK will visit Will Giles' garden on Saturday as well then.

        I think I'm going to have to pass on this one as I'm feeling overloaded on travel and other commitments. I'll pin my hopes on the Hidcote/Kiftsgate meet. Have a lovely time.

          I've just seen this and would love to join you guys at East Ruston. I have visited several times before because it is quite local for me. There is always something to see whenever you visit and if the owners are around they are inspirational and knowledgable. Here are three of my pictures from there.

            Look out for some rather naughty plant labelling in the sales area. You'll not view a ligularia in quite the same light again!

              Mr & Mrs Roders hope to be there too.
              Last time we went the Brugs were in all their glory ,I think we may be a bit early though.
