Oh dear !  Thanks for that Geranium. Maybe I'll put it in a pot.
That gives me an excuse to go and buy something else, to fill the space under my holly tree

You don't need an excuse @hywel! I wish I had some gaps to plant up. That is a pretty Euphorbia and quite unusual.

Bought 3 little heathers the other day, to replace some old scraggy ones I had in pots for a long time. They remind me of holidays in Scotland as a kid  so I like to have a few, - the ones I brought back from Aviemore and other places have long since kicked the bucket. I bought 'Leprechaun,''Sir John Charrington' and 'Foxii Nana' partly as I liked the names but also they were cute little plants... I'm not sure you should call a plant cute, but they are! Small and fluffy looking.   I was given Penstemon 'Pershore Pink Necklace' today by husband - very pretty! I think he probably thought it was too tbh  he likes foxglove-type plants. Apparently they're pretty slug resistant, which should be good in my patch. It's lovely. Husband training going well  |

Oooh, I like that, Bess. Please let me into the secret of 'husband training'.  It looks as though there are plenty of shoots for cuttings, too. |

That is pretty Bess. The Heather's are pretty too and they are my favourite flowers. |

Husband training going well Aviemore is a lovely place Bess, but you wouldn't recognise it now, it's all built up with houses around the place, it's 5 times the size from when the last time we were there 2 or 3 years ago. The heather centre at Dulnain bridge is brilliant and have tons of heathers for sale |

No, I don't really Cherry but sometimes I feel a bit guilty about buying so many plants ... Well, what else is there to buy ? I like those Heathers Bess. I've got a few in pots. Like you, I bought one last year because I liked the name. It was called Winter Chocolate. Made me feel sort of cosy ... |

I like your new Penstemon Bess, it looks lovely with your other plants. Wish my husband was as well trained |

I think the little nursery I went to at Aviemore was called Inshriach Nursery - out behind the town, very secluded and took Dad and I a while to find it.
That would have been about... 9 years ago, gosh! So I expect it's changed like crazy.

Very pretty penstemon Bess & yes they are fairly slug/snail resistant, at least they manage to survive in my garden against the army of slimy little critters! |

I used to go there when it was known as Jack Drake's nursery and I still have a Primula and Cornus Canadensis which grew near the gate there. The Cornus does not like the hot weather here and is a small pot only at present. |

Last i have purchased Rose plant and tulip plant in January and i am very happy with that. I love flowers and i would like to take care of plants. I always provide sufficient water to the plants to grow up.

Thanks Rosie. They are certainly good memories. |

I'm glad to see Inshriach nursery is still going strong, it was gorgeous. One of my main memories of the place is, it smelt lush - being out way back in the pine woods, with no car fumes - all green and damp and woodsy and so clean.
