Potentila.

A new potentila added to my benches.


Already had a clip since arriving, it has the potential to become a nice Bunjin.

Natter night 30th May 2016.

Bank holiday Monday, but still a busy night, with Ken bringing two trees to work on. First his Cork bark Elm needed some guy wires on to hold a few branches in place.

Ken  helped Boxie to apply the guy wires.


After the lower branches were pulled down, it was decided not to wire the upper part until it shows better growth.


The second of Ken's trees an Azalea which needed a repot now the flowers have finished.


Now in a new pot, much better than a plastic training pot.


Another good night in the sunshine with good friends.



Cascade Cotoneaster.

This Cascade Cotoneaster is coming along nicely and even starting to flower.


A very young tree, but should be nice in a couple of years.

Mini Azalea.

My mini Azalea is coming into flower at last.


There are only five flower buds at the moment, but who knows if that is all.

Mugo pot.

While Robert was doing a styling on Ken's Mugo Pine last weekend he said he had a pot that would suit it very well.

How right he was, this pot by Walsall Studio Ceramics looks spot on to me.


All we have to do now is get Ken to buy the pot, then bring them together.


A union made in heaven.

All out again.

Not a call for industrial action, but the flowers on my Hawthorn,just had to share.

Safely home.

This afternoon we delivered Ken's workshop tree back to his home and put it back on the patio where it has stood for a long time.
Only now it looks a whole lot better than it did before.


Ken's Triple trunk Chinese Juniper also looks very good as well.


On the deck with display benches.


This view from the deck at Ken's home always amazes me as it changes every few seconds.


It was a dull day but the sun managed to shine through a little.
