Been A Busy Bee lol

Back in May I planted up our containers for the patio and then they were seen by friends and family who asked me to do theirs and over the weeks friends of those people have seen them and said where do you get them etc and now they're flying out . Just delivered 9 planters to a house today for a wedding reception tomorrow

These are some of the planters that we've been doing

 

Stunning!!!

No wonder everyone is clambering for your pots, Bilbo! Job well done!

 

Bilbo they are so professional far nicer than I have seen in the shops.
Good balance of plants if I lived nearer I would certainly be paying a visit!

 

Smashing Bilob

 

Thanks for the kind comments The pink cordylines are proving very popular when I can get them, they're called 'electric pink' and fairly new to the market apparently, its a clump forming variety rather than one that creates a trunk and is supposed to be very hardy despite its exotic look

 

Gorgeous and stylish bilbo,colourful i love the black pots x

 

Stunning them mate!

 

Great pots, well arranged. They will look particularly good in the winter, giving some good colour in the garden and breathing some life into the gloomy days. Excellent.

Is there a possibility the Cordyline is in fact a Phormium?.. Ive seen Phormiums mislabelled as Cordylines so many times. I know Cordyline 'pink passion' forms a trunk, and I know there is one type of Cordyline that forms clumps instead of trunks.. but I just saw a few photos online of Cordyline electric pink, and for certainly a few of those pictures showed Phormiums.

edit: yours is definitely a Cordyline, but I think it will go on and develop a trunk.

 

Me too, really set the plants off nicely!!!

 

As you say Stephen yes this ones definitely a Cordyline - http://www.prestigeplants.com.au/www/content/default.aspx?cid=841

I've also managed to get a green a purple variegated one which looks impressive


And a purple/red one called Red Lance


Both new ones to me

 

That variegated one looks amazing, beautiful colour, although Ive heard these colours tend to fade with age. That said before the horrific winter of '10.. we had a Cordyline 'dazzler' which kept it's colours even at 6 feet tall.. Red Cordylines tend to lose their colouring much quicker.

Hope it keeps its colouring though!

 

Cracking those Michael.
Hope your making a nice tidy profit too!
But more importantly enjoying doing it!

 

Love those variagated ones, stunning!

 

fantastic Bilbo, i can see why they're all clambering to get you to do there's...i would be joining the queue myself

 

They look brilliant. I'm not surprised people want you to do theirs!
