What's your latest garden buy/ bargain.....share please.

[Verdun]

Lots of different daphnes alp but they share a common vulnerability to virus spread by aphids so examine closely the foliage and condition of any new plants. Their growing conditions and needs vary too.
Not sure Perfume Princess is commonly available in 1 litre plus sizes?
When I bought mine there were also a few poor quality specimens so be aware

£8.99 and I wish I had bought the other one. I have reduced the photos to 6 inches max.. and the first one is still being loaded

 

[alp]

What a torment. Reduced them to 6 inches and still would not upload. Or it does it TWICE!

I'm getting out of here! AGAIN!

 

[Verdun]

Slightly different alp...odora aureomarginata. Nice though
Perfume Princess is a new hybrid between yours and Bholua.....4 x the scent of odora, reputedly and a bigger plant.

Some cuttings for me, @Verdun and I will adopt you as my beloved uncle! LOL!

OK, whisper in my ear the price for 2 cuttings for next spring.. on top of the salvias .. I can do salvia seeds. I am very good at that... Consider deal done.. Hehe!

 

[Verdun]

Haha you minx alp
Wont be taking cuttings of this daphne for at least a year
Remind me in spring what cuttings you want....just a couple mind as I now have a lot of people wanting something

 

[alp]

Whatever you think your niece should have, I would like them, now that I'm your NICER NIECE! LOL!

 

[alp]

Bought a prunus Stella cherry for just under £9, another giant mum for £1.69, supposed to cleanse the air. I am a sucker for any plants which would cleanse the air. An aster for £2.99.. Love it too much and paid this terrible price.

LOL! I am like that. On Sundays, we would go to 2 of the same two diy gcs.. Shame they have closed so many down. So 4 of them a day. I reckon it will be difficult to get anything cheap now as CCCChristmas is here soon and every item in the shops is seen as a potential earner!

 

[alp]

Had 2 more mother in law's tongue for £1.25 each. Glad that the hunt is over. i now have 5 of them and might split the new pots as each of them contains two plants.. Very pleased.

Suddenly, the ebac machine gave out a more energetic noise, I blame @Upsy Daisy 's spooky stories again... Oh, dear! Should have stayed in bed .. now I wouldn't dare to turn my head.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

I don't mind @alp......you can blame me!!...........spooky sorry

 

[alp]

I was really scared, especially when I smelt deodorant .. I am a bit useless and get scared easily .. Worst when there is no natural light.
