Show us your purchases 2024

Site photos because there's nothing much to see in the pots, but received an order from Promesse de Fleurs this morning 3 Dictamnus, 6 Japanese anemones, 3 Heuchera, 1
purple Sedum


1 Oriental Poppy


1 Acanthus (hopefully not too much of a thug!)


Bowles Mauve Erysimum, a pure blue Pulmonaria and a couple of Thalictrums. All I need now is for the ground to dry out enough to plant them!

 

Pretty double flower Galanthis hippolyta

 

Got four cuttings today from Madeira of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis "Swan Lake / Fantasia" ... Pure White but can change colour to Pink. I am keeping as I have never done from cuttings before so probably next year before flowers.

 

Thank you FC. Quite an eye catcher. Have you found homes for all your new purchases?

 

Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget'

 

Very nice Michael ... you've been spending again ...

 

I bought a Myrtle this week, very much an impulse buy at the GC but I think it will work well in my garden. Also some very pretty saxifrages bought along with a couple of Silene Shafta from B&Q. And some clematis from the supermarkets.

 

Nice purchases. I love my Myrtus. I have the 'Tarentina' variety, tiny leafed.

 

Today I got my wife a Jasmine plant on a hoop from Sainsburys! It was half price & in a ceramic pot. Surprisingly the other plants they had looked to be in very good condition even after more than a week in the shop! Yet outside they had dozens of Hyacinths drooping all over the place as well as dead Camellias & a few other dead plants! It made me want to cry! ::841:: (I haven't got a photo yet but I'll get one & post it tomorrow.)

7 years I also got her an identical plant, also half price, from Tesco. But that was only one day after Mother's Day. This plant had been in the shop for at least 7-8 days.

That's a beautiful plant @Michael Hewett

 

I bought this Iresine, the leaves look different to the one I've got, they are more pointy and a darker colour with no lighter colouring on them at all.

 

That does look different to the plant I use to grow under the same name.

Spotted these had just been delivered at a local Garden centre, so ended up getting one,, like I need more plants. Nerium Oleander.

 

What colour flowers will it have, @pete?
