SHOW US YOUR PURCHASES 2020

I rescued this Angelonia from a well known shop where it was dying a slow death, and I hope to keep it over winter in a shelter. It's a tender perennial :-



And also these two Begonia Rex which I was able to divide into more plants :-





I have identified the last one as 'Indian Summer' It looks the nearest I can find to that variety.

 

Had a delivery of compost today so I can start potting up the plug plants and some bacopa cuttings.

 

That's a lot of compost @mazambo, you're going to be busy !

 

To be honest it's a lot more than I'd normally buy, I'm a little concerned with the covid situation at the moment so I thought I'd get it while there's plenty around.

 

Wickes normally have a 15%/20% discount offer around Black Friday, but in recent years it's been restricted to 'click and collect' orders and large minimum order values like £100, which might be a lot of compost for some people, plus being c&c you can't select bags from pallets still wrapped in polythene and risk getting stuff that's been soaked with autumn rains.

And this year isn't normal.

 

Arrived today, probably not the best quality but will come In very handy.

 

I saw this at half price in a local shop. I couldn't leave it there on its own could I !!

I've never had any luck with them in the past but I thought I'd have another try .... one never knows, this time I might be successful.

 

@Michael Hewett I have a Dendrobium similar to that one in bud.

 

That's good @strongylodon , and thanks for the name, I didn't know it.

 

Just purchased this:



which will go here:



4 months delivery.

 

That looks lovely clanless, if it doesn't fit your welcome to send it to Ramsgate.

 

It should fit - unless there has been a massive administrative cockup with my measurements - which unfortunately has happened to me before...

 

Oh yes we have all done that, my late builder brother in law used to say, Measure twice and cut once.
