    IMG_3749.jpg My gardening interests are growing exotic, rare or unusual plants and pushing the boundaries as to what I can get away with growing in my central London inner city garden. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone on here.

        Welcome to the forum!

        Good on you for being a gardener of exotic species. :) Over here most of the fellows think anything exotic, dances. :heehee:

                          I agree with Nigel. Interesting blog you have. The book that you refer to. Plants of the world. RBG Kew offered it to me @ £79 well worth it but I saved some £30 buying it from Amazon. Certainly a publication for my bookshelf.

                            BB. I see Aljos Farjon has at last got his new book. Ancient Oaks on the market. I'm looking forward to reading it.
