Show us your recent purchases 2015

Visited Rosemoor Gardens, north Devon, at the weekend and couldn't resist these in the British Cactii and Succulent exhibition.

Tillandsia cyanea 'Anita', a new variegated hybrid.


Agave medio picta Alba, usually a lot dearer than £6 as they don't pup regularly.

 

I bought this from the lady who sells plants for charity in a nearby village - Polemonium pauciflorum......................


Look at the price...................


I was also given this Clivia miniata today!

 

Big plant

Several of mine got too much water, over winter, and a lot of their roots have rotted :( Repotted them in dry JI#3 and Grit mix, and hopefully they will recover.

 

Tell me about it! I had to carry it from t'other end of town!

That's something that they reinforced to me.
It has a couple of seed pods forming if you need them.

 

Hopefully not, some kind soul (think it was JJ) gave me 3 at @shiney's last year - just got to keep them alive now!

 

Seeds for my White Room arrived

Not all white of course, a few extra "couldn't afford not to have them" (tm) items

 

Osmunda Regalis also known as the Royal Fern

I was given a garden "gift card" .

 

I love a bargain and have found two in the last three days. Went, on a coach, to Chichester Flower festival* on Friday. Amazing floral displays and ,in the Bishop's garden, were a few plant stalls.
Well, you've got to haven't you? Not selling at £10 per basket and now late afternoon , so just a fiver! * http://www.chichestercathedral.org....festival-of-flowers-posted-28-june-2013.shtml
Had it's own seat and seat belt coming home 'cos the driver was a gardener bless him

My long awaited red corkscrew hazel (or Corylus Avellana Red Majestic) FINALLY arrived today! It was worth the wait, I think:

Just behind it in this pic, is a Robinia Lace Lady, which was my previous purchase. I have a bit of a weakness for interesting foliage!

And I've won eight fabulous ceramic pots on ebay, which I collect on Thursday. Pics to follow, no doubt!

 

Really like the Red corkscrew hazel,

 

Ah yes, sadly 'winning' on ebay still requires parting with money.

 

..Got one of these last weekend,makes short work of tying the tomatoes in and anything else for that matter Max Tapener



Kristen made me do it
