mowgley, I saw some last week in b&q for £3 but I haven't got the room for them, if they eventually grow they have too wider spread for my garden.

 

Converting Shiney's hedge clippings into cash?

Just after creating a knot garden - it will need quite a few plants ...

 

Sal asked me to get & look after some plants for him from the Jungle Garden closing down sale:



Brugmansia volcanicola Pink Ice
Ensete montbeliardii
Costus Barbatus

 

Know the feeling Val
Not a purchase but a new plant sent to me by a lovely member of the BHHS, well always room for one more especially this one that I've been after for a while.
Daylily 'Blue Eyed Butterfly' (not my picture mines just leaves at the moment but did have an old flower stalk so next year )

 

Been to Morrisons. Bought three Acers for a tenner each (Orange Dream, Atropurpureum and Phoenix). Two will be going in the front garden and the Phoenix will be going in a pot.

Bought a couple of trays of 6 plug plants (Violas) and some bulbs - Daffodils (two bags of ten for a couple of quid each - apricot mix and white mix), some beautiful red tulips for a couple of quid and a big bag of tulips for the guys in the office for three quid.

 

Well seeing as it was pay day yesterday, it would have been rude to stop there ...

I've just ordered some Daffodil 'White Lion' and pre-ordered some summer flowering bulbs:

Ranunculus Peony
Zephyranthus Habranthus Robustus
Freesia doubles
Anemone Coronaria Sylphide.

 

Nice choices there merleworld , I'm terrible with bulbs and always forget where I've planted them and end up digging them up did try marking with coloured markers but the flippin magpies thought it was great fun to pull them all out

 

Been on my WishList at Amazon for yonks ... decided to do a 2nd-hand search on it and picked up a mint copy for 68p (how can anyone flog a book for that?) plus £1.85 shipping - even if that includes the profit it isn't exactly profiteering!

 

Great find Kristen. The Gods were lookin' out for ya today...
Jenny

 

Ha! I spy Bomarea Kristen - good call! They are well worth the effort.
P.whippleanus is one that I've had my eye on for a while.

I could have sent you some R.scillifolia seeds if you'd said!

 

Wish me luck then ... and I'll be able to send you something, for a change

 

I can swap for P.smallii and P.lyallii!

 

Bought a Salvia microphylla for a quid today....................


Goes by the name of "Trebah Lilac White" and will hopefully be as hardy as the red form.

 

Got this package this morning - my Starter Kit for my Succulent Collection. Thanks Pete
