Picked up a 'Papyrus' reed today, always wanted to try one of these and found them a tad expensive when I've found them before, but our local florist had a trolley full this morning so I bought one , a decent sized plant in a 2lt pot for £1.95

 

Your local florist is a little gold mine @Bilbo675

 

He sure is Mowgley, he gets new stock in 2 times a week, amongst all the run of the mill stuff there's always something a little different , he quickly reduces prices too if stuffs not selling.......but has also been known to put prices up if something is selling like hot cakes

 

It's ace to get some bargains, makes you wear a biiiiiig smile!

 

Well Hubby was at work and I was bored, so a little trip to garden centre and bought, Scabious pink, Erysium 'winter Joy', Halimium, Lavender 'hidcote' and two elan stawberries.

Have tried to upload photo's but saying files too large.

All for £9.50 (everything was reduced apart from the Lavender) and I used some of the vouchers I was given for my birthday back in May.

 

Not a recent purchase, but a freebie from my own grown dahlias, lillies and sambucus! Lovely table dec for freeeeeeeeeee!

 

Big sale started at my local garden center
got a butia capitata at £20
and 2 fern in pot at £5 each original price was £25 each
unfortunatly all gone .

 

Bargain there Sal

Sarah, my E Bowles Mauve has flowered non stop for 16 months,
hope your does the same.

Bought a Curcuma Siam Spring in Birkenhead market, pic to follow.
Al, I was 'round the corner' at West Kirby yesterday!

 

You should of popped in for a brew! If your up this way again, let me know and I'll get the kettle on!

 

I actually purchased this Albuca last year but i didn't do any pics until this year.

And this years Agapanthus - Black Panther.

Took this just in time as the pond in the background isn't there now.

 

Bought one of those just recently, not planted yet but its coming into flower and I think its a knockout

 

I was looking at Black Panther on the net yesterday, I'm weakening!

 

It'll be, what, five years? before mine has bulked up enough to send you a bit. Pity its not as simple as just chopping a bit off and dipping it in some hormone rooting powder :(

 

Lovely thought Kristen, thank you. I'm selling a couple of dozen plants at a boot sale this coming Sunday that'll give me a few pennies to play with.
