OK you've convinced me, have to get more of these LOL

This ones colours get more intense with autumn weather, none of the others do though !

:-) guess what I'll be looking for at Malvern next year

I doubt you'd find it :-/
I've only ever seen this one at that one specialist grower i've mentioned - Viv Marsh.

but they will have others possibly

There were only 2 places selling them this year (spring show) , i really thought there'd be more but perhaps they're not 'in fashion' these days :-/
One guy was on the avenue of stalls, opposite that long 'shed' / craft building.
The other was a nurseryman who had a stand in the RHS building.

I bought from the guy inside and he was a rip-off, with hindsight i'd have been better off buying from the outdoor guy.
Hey ho !

I'll keep that in mind then thanks. I'm thinking of going to H Court as well next year and I seem to remember a few places selling them there, but if not I'll take a look at Viv Marsh :-)

Have sent for some from the Telegraph.......have been so impressed with ours this year, by the way Louise you do have some wonderful flowers in your garden, I know because I have just been through them all lol

Aww, thank you Dd :-x
I love my flowers :-))))

I can see that, your garden must be a riot of colour in the summer, do you have a large plot?

29 Oct, 2010

 

It's still in flower 'now' Dd :-)))

No, far from large ...... i have a front and a back garden and both are about 25'x25'.
The front is a cottage garden style and the back is lawns and shrubs - so both quite different places, which i like :-)

29 Oct, 2010

 

I do too.....:-))))))))))))))))) Even OH commented on her garden yesterday, Dd!

Ive just been looking thru them too Louise, some smashing alstroemerias. ( three of mine came from Viv Marsh.) Your gardens are totally different and really delightful.
