Sandra. these are a great set of photos.
Glad you enjoyed your day out. :o)

dont tell her that San....lol
thanks TT...

lol why isnt kids hate anyone saying that haha

Well done to Lily! What a suitable name for a Nursery Owner's daughter! lol.

Could that twining plant be a Wisteria, do you think?

i have no idea what it is Spritz but it was huge...over twenty feet on either side of the steps...i was cutting back a twisted willow today that was growing next to a fence....now its growing in and out of it...lol

as for Lilly shes my youngest daughter Rosie is my eldest. when i had them i had never had a garden or grown either a rose or a lily. they were named after my grandmother Rose who loved her garden and Julians grandmother Lillian. our boys Jack and David are are named after dads and grandads...strange how some things are meant ti be....;-))

Super Blog Sandra. I love Agaves- they are stunning, and so architectural.Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

That's what I thought too, Spritz. You've a good collection of Agaves there, Sandra - I don't think it's the cold that kills them, it's the damp. Yours look wonderfully healthy. I always think of pittosporrums as shrubs - just how tall were those trees?
Many congratulations to Lilly.

the pittosporrums were at least twenty foot tall....ive never seen them like that before either Wagger. arnt they just amazing...
thanks K...;-))

A smashing and successful day out,lovely photo`s and blog Sandra.
Well done Lily,I wish you every success in your future.....`

Congratulations Lily. Lovely Blog Sandra ~ I have an agave like the one in the
8th photo I had it given to me not sure how to look after it any tips would be appreciated. :0)

thanks Lincs and Sueb...Lilly hasent stopped grinning...

keep Agave dry in the winter .thats the main thing......they hate being damp in the winter..

Thanks Sandra !

Great Blog Sandra, I really like your agaves, they look really healthy despite the dreadful Winter. The photos of the plants at Singleton park look smashing and some of them are just huge! Well done to Lilly for getting her place at Uni, you must be thrilled. :o)

Lovely blog Sandra and great pics,Singleton park looks nice and they have a good collection of cacti/succulents.Glad to see your Agaves came through the winter ok.

thanks Labdancer....these are all in my grow shed..no heat..but they seem to be fine.....
Rbt....Singleton park greenhouses are wonderful. i was delighted to find some time to go and visit them....they are the bigest cacti i have ever seen...for real. i'm delighted the agaves are looking good....there are a few outside clinging on too....

Well done Lily. Congratulations :o)

I haven't been to the Singleton greenhouses for years. Thanks for the reminder Sandra. I'll have to go again soon.

I liked your agaves. i didn't think they were so hardy

thanks Hywel i'll pass it on...

it was lovely in the park Hywel. i could have stayed there longer.......maybee next time.. i'd love to know what that plant on the steps is...hope u had a good sunny day to day...;-)

Yes thanks, but it is very cold. It depresses me lol. When I go to Singleton. I'll try and see the plant on the steps. Maybe it will flower in the summer and then we can know what it is.

that would be great Hywel...i wonder when it will flower..i had a nice day outside today moving all my tyres again.....will post some pics later...there are signs of spring everywhere at singleton...;-)

That's good. I wish it would get a bit warmer, but it's nice to have the days a bit longer, and bulbs coming up :o)

the sun set in the sea here tonight .it sets over the hills in the winter so it must be springtime now. i have been watering my little aeoniums in the greenhousehe. the big ones are fine but the little ones enjoyed a drink in the sunshine. it felt good in there today.;-)

That proves spring ig here then :o)

Great blog, Sandra! Your Agaves look good and healthy! Love the picture of Snowdrops...
