Some very good buys there by the way @alp

Thank you, @Upsy Daisy ! Been raining here, but not very heavy. Wish it were heavier than that. Wish I had bought the Leylandii at £1 each, but decided against having so many pots. I need them to jump to the sky to protect me.

Spent £8 and am very happy! Hope Perki has more restraint than me! LOL! I am so hopeless. Never want to go to that branch, but today I have struck gold. Made my day, really!

Hello @alp , we've had drizzly rain all afternoon too, very grey and dull . £8 !!!! very good

One of the 900 plus Salvias.
The new tropical planting area or hot area with cannas, tithonia and exotic fuchsias

Isn't this Mexican beauty zesty?

Lovely Tithonia - Shame I have forgotten all about it. Should be in full bloom by now until the first frost!

We were on the sculpture trail ..

The Trial area

Wisley continues ..

See how this body of water traverse the rockeries .. A lot of work gone into it.

Just love this unique and interesting plant!

And these colourful stems

I bought this and never had the chance to see it flower ... Too hot and too dry and too much in my garden..

​

Wisley continues ..
The Orchid Trail...

Wonder if I will have one of these in my garden. Love slipper orchid ..

Such spectacular markings

Love the twirls on either side .. Mother Nature is amazing!

Love these wonderful and unusual colours! Aren't we lucky???

What lovely pics to brighten a dark grey morning!
We can expect a low of 2 tonight .....and a low of 1 tomorrow Not liking the sound of that at all!!!

Oh this hasn't worked.....can't post my BBC forecast

 

[alp]

Don't think the link works.. I might be wrong. Going to take a lot of cuttings. Might need to buy horticultural grit! More money to go!

 

[alp]

You mean this one?

Need to tidy up the house (is this really possible?) for another evaluation!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

No I know it hasn't .
Can't do anything garden related at the moment too wet and cold

 

[Upsy Daisy]

No that not ours..high of 13 with a low of 2.....might also have a touch of ground frost

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Where's that forecast from......much rather have that one!!!
