    Kristen ,
    I`ve seen that white hydragena around my cheap garden center and by
    accident I`ve found a strange garden center , really run down
    but with some really nice trees including that variegated acer.
    I thing you should come my way as soon as the sale start
    at the moment they have some really big , I mean up to 8 feet
    palms , some butia capitata , loads of banana maurellii from a £2
    and montbeliardii at £5 , vary colors cordyline from £1 up to £8 .

    It looks stunning Shiney :) Just checked my inventory, and I don't have an Annabelle :( If Mrs S could manage an Irish Cutting for next Open Day it would be much appreciated.

    She'll try but she already has a number of friends who have asked for some, so it will depend on the number of new, young shoots that develop.

    Some of this year's flower heads (still developing) are already over 30cms across :blue thumb:
