as a good guess 85% of the plants in our garden come from this innovative and interesting place and if we had the space it certainly would be a lot more.
deac's rule that i must be able to name the location for the plant before i am allowed to buy it has only prevented the most obvious calamities (yes, i too can lie convincingly sometimes) but today i was defeated by a very limited choice from my wish list.
so here's what we got: some horsetail (equisetum hyemale) for a large planter
a yucca gloriosa as a companion for the one we got and as an underplant for our large cordyline australis
and last but not least a very pretty hedera helix 'très coupé' that rike will train into a jungle wall in her room. what i can't believe is that it's so few plants! i remember a time when on the way home from nuthurst all passengers in the car had ferns in their laps and bamboo sticks coming out of their ears including the baby and the driver had to stick his head out of the window in order to see anything. today there was even space in the boot!
