I got these last week
3x Echinacea sunseekers rainbow
3x random shrubby salvia (I do like a surprise) I got Oriental Dove - Makris - Delice gold/wine.

And the other 3 in the background
Lobelia laxiflora augustiflora
Fuchsia Lady bacon
Salvia Elgans pineapple.

I picked up from the GC on Sunday 3x queen Victoria for the bog garden and a berbris orange rocket

 

Nice! I still want to know how you get these home ... do you have a sidecar now?

 

Some more plants arrived today 2x tradecantia blue & gold to add to my other one which the wind has snapped today . Other 2 are trailing rosemary and a Gillinea pink profusion , not grown gillinea before I am already liking the foliage . I got these from Proctors nursery pleased with the plants .

 

No sidecar I got most of these online. The ones I bought from the GC Berberis orange rocket 3L pot and 3 lobelia QueenVic 1L pots and a tray of 6 pelargoniums went into the rucksack JUST they were sticking out of it but made it home safe , I take an emergency extra bag with me in case I get to greedy but I left it at home this time , they always tell me at the GC's that it not fit in my rucksack but they always do . I have my Driving test in 2 week which I am dreading .

 

Car? Bike? Re-test?

Trailing Rosemary ... never heard of it but sounds interesting.

 

You'll be fine @Perki . Anyone who rides a motorbike has to be more road aware than the rest of us.

 

Car driving test I've never really been interested in driving but need to for work . Passed my motorbike test way back when I were 18

 

Good luck Perki I think I would struggle to pass these days.
I never liked some one telling me where to go, it's like being the driver on a mystery tour but even you don't know the destination.

 

Had some more plants delivered yesterday from farmyard nurseries , they've been cut back hard to fit in the box so not worth showing but I got 3x rudbeckia henry hilliers - 3x perennial impatiens yellow flowers - 2x nepeta yunnanenis - salvia something - salvia uliginosa and maybe something else. Left them round the back on the steps last night and something thrown most of them all over the place dunno what it was cats or the jackdaw gang that come everyday.

Passed my Driving test today as well

 

Congratulations @Perki !

Well done @Perki .

 

Brilliant, @Perki!

 

Congrats @Perki

 

Thanks very nerve racking but happy its over and done with , only took me 16years to get round to. Just think how many plants I can get with 4 wheels instead of 2 .
