    I'll check with the boss but I should think it would be OK.

      Yes it is, it`s called Sensation, and we used to grow it at our nursery.

        I know I've shown this already this month but it's to demonstrate how quickly the flowers grow :blue thumb: - but the go over very quickly :sad:

        I've been selling bean plants already (sold another 100 last night) and here are another 300 ready for sale.

        @JWK and @pete The boss says we have enough Rehmania for you to be able to have one or two (she's going to try and pot up some more). You can see some growing in the matting.

              Our "lollipop acer" has progressed from pink to pale yellow. It'll green up as the season moves on.

              This rhodo got relegated to here in the front garden many years ago. It doesn't get a lot of sun, but obliges each year with some huge blooms.

              P1010459.JPG

              I gave the beams and the support posts another coat of paint. Sets off the wisteria.

              P1010460.JPG


              More phlox flowers opening on the rockery.

              P1010461.JPG


              These are the two tree azaleas in tubs I was concerned about three weeks ago when I couldn't see any buds. They'll be out shortly.

              P1010463.JPG

              P1010464.JPG


              More rhodos ready to come out.
