More Rare Plants!

lovely plants and thank you ~ thats great to know.

This is really beautiful spritz.

They are both beauties Spritz, thankyou for the info......

They are lovely I have got that Tulipa Turkistancia just put a photo the other day of it very dainty and pretty comes up with four or five off the stem.

Not been to a fair for many years, I love the Turkestanica put a pic on the 15th always one of the first tulips to come out.

Brilliant Spritz, thanks for the info, there are at least two very close to me!
I will be there, possibly both!!!

Hi Spritz - thanks for the info - I like your plant photos particularly the tulipa.

Am glad you had a good time and found some plants that you don't already have in your garden.

I should have said that the Nurseries that go to the Fairs aren't usually open to the public. They tend to be specialist Nurseries, who probably sell by mail-order or at Fairs.

Going to one is a plant-lover's paradise! :-)

it sounds fascinating ~ do the plants tend to cost more at these fairs?

Tulipa turkestanica....love it, Spritz. These fairs, unfortunately, are too distant for me to attend but I will be able to get to ordinary plant fairs in our locality...I do wonder if hubby's wallet will withstand the shock!!

Thanks very much, Spritz . . . love the blue one. :)

I would break the bank for sure if I went to one of these. That tulip is amazing!!

It is, isn't it Karen. I got the last pot, too! The Nursery had brought quite a lot, but sold out very fast - I'd have bought more, if I'd seen them first.

Sticki - no, they're definitely cheaper - very good value. There aren't any overheads as there are at GCs, are there!

thats good news ~ thank you!

you are determined to turn me green again this year arent you spritz ? :o))))

beautiful plants .

As if! I know someone who gets plants from a VERY low-priced GC....;-)

Some lovelyplnats there Spritz.

Yes, I was very pleased with my 'goodies'. I've posted a few now. :-)

Thanks for that information Spritz, didn't realise there was one at Syon House. I'll be there.

Thanks for this - I shall try for Newport in June :)

Let me know if you need the details, times etc.

glad you enjoyed the plant sale barbara, nearest is birmingham for me but its the day before we go away so thats out lol, hope you spent lots of money :o))

That's a shame, Sandra - you'd have enjoyed it! You don't need to ask whether I spent anything, do you? LOL.

Nice plant pics Barbara - quite unusual! Have put a date in my diary for May, so thanks for that info.

lol well i thought as much barbara hahaha

Hi Barbara \0/ I've been to the Castle Bromwich one, but not for many years. It's exciting going to any plant fair isn't it and usually cheaper too:-)

Anne - you'll need more info, so I'll send it to you. :-)

Yes, Ba - it definitely is cheaper -per plant. However, it depends on how many plants you buy, doesn't it! Heehee.

Some people are just greedy Barbara:-)

Who? MOI???? Never. ;-(((

Very interesting, will try to get to one! Thanks for the information! :-)

You're welcome. :-)

Oh WOW!
The Tulipa turkestanica is stunning!
What kind of lighting and growing medium
does that little guy like?
I would LOVE to try one!
*N2O*

I just planted it in my garden - but it must have sun, and it really doesn't like heavy soils. It's hardy, and you can get bulbs in the autumn over here. I hope you can track them down in the USA. :-)
