PUSHING THE BORDERS

Posted: **Sat May 24, 2014 7:48 am**

Hoping for a nice day weather wise, any of you going? Details here http://rareplantfair.co.uk/fairs/2014-k ... shire.aspx

I put some pictures of the gardens up last year so look here http://pushingtheborders.com/phpBB/view ... gston#p997

I would imagine very different this year as the two springs have been so different

I seem to remember last year some disappointment at the lack of Arisemias, The "Shady Plant" nursery should be there again and had plenty last weekend at Yarlington (wouldn't know how rare any of them are!)

It was nice to meet you, and many thanks for the plants.

Thankfully the weather held out whilst we were there, although I was rather cold by the time we left.
I limited myself this year owing to very real space issues. Rather than rush in we did a tour first and then went back, only to find that two of the three things that I had "decided on" had been sold. So all I got was a Diplarrena moraea to replace the one that I lost a couple of winters ago and an Iris chrysographs for Sue. I felt guilty walking away from the Lapageria, but reality bites and the greenhouse is already full this winter. Ill start a thread soon on Lapageria requirements so that I can plan ahead.

Thanks again.
