Wrong shape leaf for Horizontalis Dai.:hehe: Chris
Mogs, I could let you have the list of plants I used for Shinglesea if you're interested. Chris
Not sure when you last saw it Fidgetsmum, but we were down there with 3 Californian gardeners two weeks ago and it was looking glorious. We had a...
I think the second one might be Cotoneaster "Cornubia" Paul. It can grow into a handsome compact tree. There are a couple in a garden I look after...
A very Happy Birthday from me! Have a lovely day. Chris
I sort of agree with you Lollipop although if you were inclined to be patient Vibrant, you may be able to resurrect the Hebe. Here's what I've...
Definitely Verbascum. A handsome plant, about a metre tall, yours will probably have a column of yellow flowers. It tends to self seed, hence it...
Thanks Marley for all your hard work, I really appreciate you taking the trouble. The Spotted Chaser seems the most likely candidate but I will...

It sounds like woolly aphid, something I've not come across on Box before but now have a small infestation. This has been discussed already on...
Just a quick report. Despite having "four seasons in one day" (one for you music buffs out there) our day at Chelsea, yesterday was great. After...
Just seen on the RHS website that the garden I worked on...
Thanks for your advice Nick, I'll do that. Chris
There seem to be two similar threads on possible woolly aphid infestation running simultaneously. I've not come across it before on box but I've...
Funnily enough, I've noticed the same on some box plants I've got in tubs. My suspicion is that they are woolly aphids, which is strange as I've...
Oh Pete!:scratch: Maybe some of the more cutting edge gardens are rather impractical but having done three now and been intimately involved with...
Separate names with a comma.
