99p Well Spent No1

The deals are out there!
At that money, you can afford to be disappointed too. But these Lillies are lovely!
I got my dad three gooseberry bushes out of there to replace the elderly on e that he lost over the winter - all three were trying to produce fruit, but he cut them off so that the bushes would grow better and they look amazing now!

I love the white ones

Meanie this is only half the story. I am a denizen of charity shops, carboots, second hand market stalls and windowsills and get many books and CDs for a fraction of the new price. Also at Coleraine in a charity shop I found a beautiful specimen of Epiphyllum cooperi which delights me with flowers every spring. I am also willing to swap cuttings and seedlings etc of many plants including many Pleiones. Has your lady-friend anything for exchange? Think of the money she and you could save. I will post a list of available species if you wish.There is one species which has for the last thirty years defied all my best efforts at cultivation - garden, greenhouse (potted and in open bed) and now my windowsill. It has cost me quite a few pounds over the years and as ever - no joy. Lilium candidum; enigmatic, mysterious, satanic and yet so beautiful all rolled into one gardener's downfall. Woe worth the day I set eyes on that little bogyplant. David (Chwiliwr) Barratt.
