A new plant this last few days. Aeonium Arboreum Schwarzkopf ( photo / image / picture from kate's Garden ) When it grows more next summer it has big yellow daisy like flowers http://ptudor.net/inmygarden/Aeonium_ar ... 30330.html A bit on the expensive side but worth it hopefully.
I don't think that money spent on plants is ever too much - but then again I'm a plantaholic!! I hope you'll post more piccies when your new addition flowers for you.
Oh, Don't get me wrong Eileen. Everytime I shop for food I come home with something or other for the garden. Four weeks ago I bought Delta Sarah, a new Fuchia which Thompson and Morgan don't even have till next spring. As I look out in the garden at the new plant it holds much promise for next year. Today it already has 16 buds already..small but like I said next year... I buy seeds from Ebay. Just bought a new plant from the Aeonium Aubereum range of succulents from Cornwall. Brought a tropical Hibiscus from Tenerife airport. I love plants and flowers, also Acers are another favorite tree of mine.
Well you can definitely become a member of the Plantaholics Anonymous club Kate. You sound soooo like me!! :-D I love acers too and have around eight at the moment. I just started two new ones off earlier this year and they are coming along nicely. I once brought back a Jasmine plant from Jersey and took it onto the plane as hand luggage. That way I could strap it into the spare seat beside me to keep an eye on it. Me ...... addicted to plants? YES and proud of it.
I think so Eileen about being a member lol I was obbsessed when we went to Tenerife in september. I spent everyday (10) just seed picking or filming flowers. Now whats in those packets I just filled..dunno now lol I was'nt such a daredevel. What I did the day of leaving Tenerife was wet kitchen towelling (paper) wrapped my plants in that. Then in damp newspaper, then a damp hand towel because I was staying overnight at my son's house. I was scared stiff we would be caught lolol but I just had to have them. The at the airport paid £20 for two Hibiscus to compensate them for cough...borrowing.. plants..haahahah
