... out in the garden.

The Alpine Garden Society's Summer Show South, Wimborne.

3rd June 2006

Pteridophyllum racemosum .
A very beautiful plant for moist shade. I have just bought a small one, so it was timely to see it growing so well at the show.


3rd June 2006

Roscoea humeana 'Alba' .
This is the first time I have seen this fabled plant in the flesh. A wonderful pure white flowered form. I grow a seedling from Long Acre Nursery from their plant 'Snowy Owl', but it is pale lilac, so I am in the happy position of having something wonderful to lust after!


3rd June 2006

Campanula persicifolia planiflora 'Alba' .
I am not generally a lover of Campanula, though I am starting to ammend that view. In general the big ones are too weedy and the small ones are just slug bait, but every now and then I see something truly wonderful. I saw this one at the show last year, and have looked for a source (but not found one). This year, the same plant at the same show is twice as impressive.


3rd June 2006

x Rhodoxis 'Nippon' .
I grow a few Rhodohypoxis in a very gentle and not at all obsessive way, but they have been so fantastic this year that I have started to look at them a bit more closely. A display at the show have me a timely opportunity to look at a wide range (and I came away with a couple of new ones). This hybrid x Rhodoxis is also pretty impressive.

I have a lot of good intentions when it comes to updating this site, and I try to keep a note about what is going on, if you are interested.
