              shiney: if one wants to buy plants shortly before/after the charity day, is it possible to do so? :spinning:

                @miraflores If you're passing, beforehand, and we have them priced up and ready (a lot of that preparation isn't always done until the last minute) then the answer is yes, but it would mean taking a chance.

                Afterwards, assuming we're home, all plants that are left are still for sale. We have people dropping in for plants all through the summer. but we don't tend to propagate any more than we already have for sale.

                  last time (like: 50 years ago :redface:) I have bought from you a dark foliage plant with elongated dropping leaves. Do you happen to remember the name of it?

                    could it have been lysimachia purpurea? It has yellow flowers.

                        supposing one wanted to buy a few plants at the last minute/closing time as well as booking/joining the Indian meal, what time would you advise it is best to be there, and how should I go about it?

                        Do you have any plants of the Ophiopogon mentioned above this year?

                          I'll ask Mrs Shiney if she has any of the black Ophiopogon.

                          Re getting here: If you now have a car then it's easy. If you don't then it would have to be by train. I'm sure that one of the GC members would pick you up from the station. One of us can take you to the Indian and then you would need to be dropped off at the nearest station to the restaurant. We'd need to check how late the trains run and whether there's 'Engineering Work'.

                            Mrs Shiney has just potted up a load of Epimedium × versicolor 'Sulphureum' (pale yellow flowers with heart shaped green leaves with red stripes) after we split them from the Big Daddy (too big to be mummy :whistle: :heehee:). So they should be on sale on Open Day.
