Tumbler Cerry Toms x 2 and Basil

Heard of Toronto bluejays but never seen a real one great pic.Actually never saw bluejays play either as they were on strike!

Sounds like the sort of day Sundays were invented for, wish you more of the same .

In fact Rhododendron prefer acidic soil - perhaps it's not acid enough? You might need to use an acidifier.

The BBC has advice: http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plantprofile_rhododendron.shtml

... from which I garner:
- Pruning is not usually required, but it it's straggly it could be worth doing.
- Dead heading might help you get more flowers
- Careful with soil improvers, tap water etc. that might lower the acidity of the soil.

I'm afraid not, Tastey, they're not mine. I took the photo on a visit to RHS Wisley It was in the new glasshouse there so must need special conditions.

Hi Tastey, yes it is an orchid (Mormolyca ringens) I just checked :) Sorry I missed your question the first time around Lori.

Is it a climbing plant ? If so it looks like Bougainvillea glabra.

In heaven with this Mike.Really like the look the way plants soften the ironwork were these dumpster (skip) finds? Hope I havent offended you an they cost a fortune, know how you look out for things.

my my you are quite the vivid story teller it was almost as if i was reading a poem or short story there and it was amazing.I felt that i was standing right next to you as you described it all. It was very very good and i can not wait for your next installment.
