CGF and Akamba

I had a trip to both during the week and snapped a few pics of what was looking good.

Thats the spikies out of the way...more to follow

[Mark]

Sorry about that, I have NO IDEA why they have come out side ways again :twisted:

[Chrisg]

NOt sure, it only seems to happen for you :lol:

Anyway good to see they have a good selection of manfredas. They haven't had any in on the last few visits.

Tell me about it :roll: I can view my pictures the right way up and when I post them they turn on their side for some reason :?
The spikie section was chocca with plenty of stuff to choose from. in fact the whole place was very well stocked and the gardens were a mass of colour. Even Bob was out doing some weeding.

Nice stuff there Mark. Let's see the non spikey stuff.

Did you purchase any goodies?

Nice stuff there Mark. Let's see the non spikey stuff.

Exactly! Come on Mark! :)

I did try a follow up post but the pictures still come out side ways :twisted:

I bought 2 pots of Primula Vulgaris Katy Mac Sporran and another Primula with green flowers whos name escapes me for the moment and a nice little plant that I haven't heard of before called Napaea Dioica . The Primulas were for my parents and the other one was for me.


EDIT; Thw primula was called Fransisca.

How big are the Agave parryi cream spikes Mark?

Are they in 2 litre or 3 litre pots?

I may have to order one of those.

[Frank]

I may have to order one of those.

Given your location Adam perhaps the only choice. However CGF is always one place I would recommend to turn up yourself as prices tend to be the same, regardless of sizes. I suspect the smaller ones get posted ;)

[Mark]

Adam, I think they were 1 ltr pots. Like Frank mentioned if you can its best to visit them and then you get to pick out either the biggest plants or the ones with more in the pots. Long way for you to come though. It would pay for you to make the most of the postage and get as much as you can cram in a box.
