Pinus Wallichiana

It's really lovely conifer.

Thanks Kasy it is isn't it? I hope to plant it in the ground eventually, once the pond is done. It will look nice behind the pond.

I love touching the needles - they are so soft:)
I am sure it will be an eye catching growing behind the pond:)

Exactly Kasy. That was the appeal when I saw the mature one in Edinburgh botanic garden. I couldn't reisist walking up to it and it was such a surprise to find it was so soft! :))

I've seen my first at Anglesey Abbey Gardens. It wasn't huge but alraedy looking lovely:)

Oh yes, I'd love to visit that Garden, it looks stunning...isn't that the one with the silver birches?

yes, the same. It's famous for winter interest. Wanted to put a blog, but never really had a time to do so... but now working part time I will try to do it:)

Great, looking forward to it. Congratulations on getting more time for yourself! :)

:) will try - tried to do 2 blogs already, but....
Yes, more time but spring is already here so I would rather be outside, lol.

Know exactly what you mean Kasy. I would find ANY job to keep me outdoors from March to December, and during Jan and Feb I suffer terrible withdrawl, but go for lots of long walks whenever the sun shines. Being close to the beach is an absolute boon. I find the winters so much easier to cope with now that we are out of the city and near the beach.

I have no choice now - sun or rain, frost or scorching hot - I am outside. Working in a garden centre, lol. But would never swap it for a city life again, lol.

very nice Karen, love them stones by the pot...

Builders' Merchant for the stones Slad :)...Keyline this time.

never thought of them before thanks :-))

welcome Slad! don't blame you Kasy!

Really like this one!

Thanks M! :)
