Tetrapanax flower

Last winter I was teased when my Tetrapanax went into bud only to be quickly halted by the frosts. This year however......

Echiums

The echiums have done really well during the summer.  If they survive the winter, the flowers should be spectacular next summer.  One of them is now 7' tall.

Winter roses

The autumn has been very kind to us and summer flowers are still in bloom.  I am hoping for some roses at Christmas!
