    Paulownia tomentosa

    to my list. One year old seedlings. Will need to grow (planted out will be fine) for a couple of years, and can then be stooled each year to get huge leaves :)

    (That's a mature example, not a representation of what my seedlings look like under the Exchange of Goods at Shiney's Open Day Act :) )

      Kristen, the Hoya I thought was for you is Mrs Shiney's personal one :doh:. The one for you is not as big but still a few years old. :blue thumb:

        Is that a look of outraged dignity in that cat's eyes or is it just dreaming of whiskas?

          Well, if it's all right with you, Shiney, I'll drop my plant contribution off late afternoon on the Friday before the Open Day and then go on to the Farm just down the road to unpack and a cup of tea. Just include the plants in the general sale among all the others.:coffee::snork:

              I've amended the list of plants coming, Shiney, as well as correcting a mistake when I posted Wall Flowers when I meant Corn Flowers.

              It's only just occurred to me that it's also Spring Bank Holiday on that Weekend:doh::gaah: I guess I might start out earlier on the Friday and hopefully miss most of the traffic.:snork:
