November 30th 2009




Here is another update on what is looking great this week.
There are so many to choose from I have just chosen a blue, a pink mini and a red for a bit of colour variety. The plants are Glamour Queen, Rob's Antique Rose and Tomahawk.



I have had some really hot weather so the flowers aren't lasting as long as they were a few weeks ago, but they still have lots of beautiful colour.

I have re potted a lot of my Streptocarpus and they are just starting to put on some new growth now. A couple were really hit hard by the hot weather.

Some of my Episcias are coming into flower as well.



My website is almost ready with a new catalogue uploaded ot it.

Untill next week, Happy Growing.

November 5th 2009 update


This week the flowers are all looking beautiful with their strong spring colours. The plants I repotted during the early part of spring are in flower and growing strongly.

This week I have had 2 plants of the same variety, 'Light Years' flower differently. One is the true colour of single white with purple markings and a green edge, and the other has flowered a very deep purple with a green edge. both look very nice. This is the image at the top of the page.

I have some new Streptocarpus coming out in flower this week also. Photos later.

A plant growing outside under shade cloth is a Columnia "Alladin's Lamp"









My web site is in the process of being updated with the new catalogue for 2010. Note that there wil be a price rise of some products in the New Year and also a maximum of 30 leaves per order. This is to give more people a chance to get their chosen leaf orders.
