Disagree with what A?

 

I have a thing for palm trees at the moment
From left to right
Chamaerops humilis, butia eriospatha and trachycarpus princeps hybrid

 

Oh very nice, I wish I had the room for them.

 

Patio Rose



Liked the unusual colour combination, creamy yellow buds on which the outer petals turn green with pink centres. Unfortunately no scent though.

 

That's unusual - do you know its name please?

Hi Jenny,

Sorry, not at the moment, however I am trawling the interwebbynet thingy to see if I can find it.

I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

 

Possibly 'Esperance' ?

 

Hi Sheal,

You are a star

I've just had a look on the interwebbynet thingy and that looks spot on, even down to the no fragrance bit.

Apparently it was introduced in 2001 by De Ruiter if that helps Jenny

PS.... I paid £3 for it.

 

You're welcome Anthony. Perhaps my Id mistakes are on the turn at last!

 

A few more Heuchera:

Berry Smoothie
Georgia Plum
Fire Alarm
Rio.

Think the bright colours will go nicely with the more muted colours of the Hostas and also be a nice change from the pinks and purples which I seem to gravitate towards.

 

Oh dear, I knew I shouldn't have looked at the garden section in the Range because there wouldn't be anything interesting!!
Wrong.
An Orange Bougainvillea for only £9, they had 10 but I only bought one!

 

I want one! Even though I've got no where to put it. Great buy Strongy!

 

You're lucky Strongylodon, I went you our Range last week (it's the only garden center we have within a taxi ride except for B&Q which I find expensive) for some Roses only to find it full of bedding plants and "green" shrubs
.
They've even filled up the houseplant section with garden ornaments and outdoor lighting.

I ended up going to B&Q and luckily they had a sale on, still paid £6.27 each for them though.

Cost £18.81 for Roses and £13.00 for taxis :(
