@longk


@Kristen Looks like my Paulownia


I need an I.D. please on this one because it smelt devine

 

Could be a Pieris Joolz. Lovely pictures!

 

Great pictures Jools
Agree with Sheal looks like a Pieris could be Japonica 'Purity' aka 'lily of the valley' bush or it could be Forestii
Really glad you liked it at the Eden Project and Heligan
Think Cornwall has a magic to it ...... Must be all that light and ozone, we always come back happy and rested.
Even after camping in the rain.

 

Cor, great pics Joolz

 

Marvellous pics Joolz,knew you'd have a lovely time I'd love to visit the Eden Project

Has it got you wanting a bigger GH ?

 

@Lolimac Without doubt loli them domes are Huge!How am i ever going to achieve that
The outside was just as brilliant I loved this insect house..

And its amazing what you can make from plastic bottles,hubcapa and bike frames

 

Thanks sheal,i think the pieris i have is forest flame but still too small to flower yet,i hope that smells as nice

Ive googled Purity, Thanks thats the one its my next purchase
I think i need a holiday now,so much to do and see,next time im booking 2 weeks there so i can chill between coastal walks,gardens and habour visits
Lost the carpark in newquay when we visited, took a hr to find the car so im quite the expert on the back streets there now
Great holiday

 

Sept is usually a good month for weather in Cornwall (bit misty sometimes) as is late May early June and it's easier to visit the attractions.
Really glad you enjoyed exploring the car parks and other attractions lol!

 

Appropriate T-Shirt then?!!

I am sure you know this, but it needs Acid / Container with ericaceous compost

 

Good to see that the Desfontiania is still doing well! Isn't the Jungle incredible!!!

I'm not sure that is a Pieris though - the blooms are the wrong shape. Was it at Heligan? I wonder as they hold the National Rhododendum collection, so might it be a species Rhodie maybe?

 

joolz - I think your Pieris type plant might be a Clethra arborea.

 

Nice one Peter! Something of rarity from what I've just read.

 

It is incredible
Yes at heligan,it was as we came out of the walled garden where the grape vines are

 

Thanks,is that not the same as lily in the valley,purity? which adendoll mentioned? they look the same to me x
