Beautiful Geranium. You are making the most of autumn colour and should have a second garden opening. No, thanks! It's such hard work to get to (my) standard. I'm very pernickety about everything - probably too much that way. I know some garden owners aren't as fussy about detail as I am! The NGS are having another National Festival in June next year and want us all to open on that weekend. I found three days too tiring, so we'll stick to the usual two days. Thanks for the lovely comments, though, Cherry and @hywel.

Unfortunately when I contacted the nursery and asked if they did mail order this was their reply: Sorry no. Plants available from the nursery April to August (Open Friday, Saturday & Sunday only) Will have to look on other sites.

Interesting plants Tel. I bought a Hoya carnosa last week, because my old one had died.

I wish I had know that @hywel. Tel, that is amazing! I could not have grown it. My Hoya carnosa is flowering better than it has ever done before. I think I remember Fractal telling us not to cut off the tiny bit of stem from where the flower actually bloomed. He might come and tell us again the reason for this. Is the blue one a Gentian? I don't know what the other is. There could be too much sun on it.

I don't know what the other is. There could be too much sun on it. I've also heard not to cut the old flowers off a Hoya, Cherry. It's because the new flowers grow from the same stem. I think that's why ... I'll have to look it up.
