gunnera and bottle brush

well done San they look great

thanx yorkshire im very pleased with them, im sure the gunnera will soon grow ;o)

They look ok dont they,

and cheap to carol, ive had some great plants of ebay, looking forward to bottle brush flowering :o)

Not to sure at getting things of ebay, as you have to bid for them dont you.

alot you buy now price i go for them its easier carol, i always forget to look how my bids doing, most plants are set price carol which is better.

Right will have a look later, i'm after a youcaliptus tree. dont know if i've spelt it right.

be back soon, just going to have a look at ebay girls.

Ok see you later.

i think it starts with e carol lol, im not good on spelling either , will take a look to, they are usually young plants like the bottle brush,

Think there only cheap and grow quite fast.

eucalyptus! there you go carol lol

seen some carol on ebay,£5.75 then £6,95 post, 3-4ft, blue eucalyptus
some at £2.99 but only about 12-18inches

Thanks those 3-4ft are really cheap are'nt they.

yes not bad at all compared to Gc carol, you need to look through as some charge more but that came up on first page

Grand looking plants San.....

OK thanks.

Well done San .they look lovely plants , I bought a winter flowering Honey suckle from ebay a few weeks ago , it's got some lovely fat buds on it , I will wait until the end of the month before I plant it in the garden ......

thanx alice ;o)
yw carol ;o)
thanx amy your honetsuckle sounds nice, i noticed my honeysuckle had bud coming which i was pleased cause i only got it end of last summer so nice to see it has survived ;o))

2 great purchases. They do look healthy.

thanx GT, cant wait to see my gunnera grow, not sure if i will get a flower on my bottle brush,not sure how old before they flower :o)

Sandra just ordered a eucalyptus tree, one at £2-99 as they grow fairly quick.

thats great carol, hope its a nice one ;o))

Good purchases Sandra. :o)

thankyou Terra i have quite a few plants now so going to ease off till i plant them, then i can weigh things up :o)

It will be fun planning where everything will be planted :o)

They look great Sandra. I'm a gunnera fan :-) Which variety is it, do you know. I think my bottle brush has maybe died in the frosts :-( Although I have another one.

They look great Sandra, I`m going to treat myself to a bottle brush this year, they are stunning looking plants. :o)

PS: I must look on eBay to see what plants I can pick up! :o)

Hi Labdancer, its all on Ebay, I've bought seeds too.

sorry Terra had to make dinner then take son home, yes looking forward to planting, some plants will go into pots so i can take them in during winter i think ;o)
dawn the gunnera is manicata if you know which i mean, not sure what to do with it, either leave in a pot or ground, dont want it taking over , not alot of space ,sorry your bottle brush has died and glad you have another, i may have that in pot to,:o))
sandra ive always wanted one but they can get killed off with severe frost i understand, so will have to be carefull with it,
ebay do have some good sellers for plants and not to expensive either ;o)
dawn your right lots of seeds at the moment

Hi Sandra, I know Gunnera Manicata very well, its got to be one of my favourite ever plants :-) Regarding what to do with it, why not take a look at my Garden Photos - page 3, top row, 4th along. Might give you an idea of what to expect. :-)

ok thanx dawn be right back lol

great plants....... im waiting 4 some things from ebay as well......... my Gunnera is by my pond... ha dit for 2 years each year its leaves get a bit bigger... great plant..

Fab arent they Holly. Good choice Sandra.

thanx holly will check yours out to ;o))
thanx dawn ;o)

Looks like you have been bitten by the eBay bug, I have bought several plants and have been pleased with them so far, both of your plants are fairly tender, the bottle brush, depending on which variety it is, I have a hardy one and a tender one, as long as the tender plant is in a sheltered place it will be ok, our Gunnera looks very sick at he moment, should have covered it up.....smack on the wrist for me..lol

thanx dotty i love looking on ebay but its taken me a while to actually buy something as wasnt sure what i would be getting , i think its quite hardy but will make sure i shelter or cover in winter just to be sure, same with gunnera which will be in a big pot eventually not in ground as i dont have the space for it to grow so big ;o) hope your gets better dotty

Two more really fantastic plants Sandra, I ve never bought plants from Ebay but may take a look after seeing youre [I am trying to grow a bottlebrush from seeds Amy sent me].

thanx carole, hows the seeds going, any signs of life yet? not sure how long before they get flowers are you :o))

Nothing yet Sandra will keep you informed ;0)

yes plez do carole, good luck with them :o))
