Pittosporum 'Goldstar'

That looks nice and healthy ,I had an old one ,it died last year I've since bought one of the bronze foliage ones ,it's a lovely colour but only a miniature .......

Oh hello Amy ... I hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine today. I have been given five shrubs from a friend who is 'down-sizing' to a flat ... sadly it has no garden ... lucky me to have these ... :o)

I like pittosporum a lot. It is used a lot on Scilly for hedging to protect the fields of daffodils.

I read that as 'Sicily' at first! I like the idea of it as hedging, Wildrose. When this grows too big I should be able to clip it to a good shape.

Lucky you Shirley , I hope your friend will be happy in his / her new home, hasn't the weather been wonderful Its been a 'proper summer ' so far !

Thanks Amy ... her new flat does have a balcony which I imagine will soon be filled with pots & containers ... the weather is just how I like it ... warm, dry and sunny .. long may it last!

I'm sure she will make the most of the room she has , you can't keep a good gardener down :o) ...

:o)))

There are some plants that really don't need flowers to show them off, this.. is one of them!

Indeed Helenium ... :o)
