I have Bowl of Beauty as well

just a thought with the tree peony they may flower this year but you will be lucky to have any next year as they will be sending roots out so just so you know.

 

Oh wow! Such a lovely flower....

Thanks for the heads up on possible lack of flowers next year. That's good to know, so I won't worry if they don't then

 

I decided to pop to a car boot this morning before work and managed to pick up some bargains:

An edging iron and a pair of edging shears from two separate sellers £1 and 50p!


And then 4 pots of crocus 50p each (the tools fell on them on the bus journey...) there also quite dainty? I have a small clump in the garden already but the flowers are much larger on the garden ones I'm sure?



Sent on the go from my telephone

 

I bought a new planter for my clematis......and added a Jasmine

 

That looks really nice Amy Where did you get it from ?
I wish my planters looked as neat as that , this time off year !

 

Thanks Harry I bought the planter from Next.....not cheap but looks good & very well made (hopefully it'll last too!)

 

pay cheap pay twice, looks great

 

OH got me an edgeworthia chrysantha grandiflora! I can't stop smelling it, I've named him Eddie.
It was quite pricey but I felt it was so much bigger than the ones online. He also picked out some primroses and we went back to my favourite place in the world (Avondale nursery) and I got some centurea and primula auriculas.

 

edgeworthia chrysantha grandiflora

very nice , I saw one for sale up by Wisley and that was a mint ££ but amazing flowers and the smell was fab I think its from China and like ericaceous compost ? I would have to check though

 

It is from China I think, they call it the paper bush. The smell is amaaaazzing. I'm going to see if I can propagate some cuttings.

Also planted some Lilies (Regale, Rubrum & Black Beauty) in another new pot (bought to match the planter/trellis)

 

Hopefully a crate full of potential....

Will see what exactly is in the boxes, once I've cleared up and sorted out my ol' lad. Poor boy, he's having a bad run of things at the moment....

 

Just went to Aldi on lunch..... all summer bulbs are half price at 49p. Obviously I went overboard and bought a potting tray for £4.99 for my greenhouse.

 

My order from other fellow fuchsias had arrive today
Very impressed I must say good strong healthy plugs
