managed to keep the slugs off the iris long enough to see the flowers (although I noticed the foliage is covered in Shield Bugs!)

This is one of the most satisfactory conservatory plants I have come across, absolutely no pests will go near it, lovely scent gorgeous leaves and ornamental fruits

Eucalyptus gregsoniana 018 by charliepridham, on Flickr

Dahlia tenuicaulis starting to flower again. It didn't stop growing through the winter which is a first for me, in my old garden it survived in the ground but would always loose leaves and stems.
Never before had Echium pininana survive a winter intact either
Plenty of spare Bellis perennis (Dennis the Menace) if anyone would like some

That Dahlia is a lovely thing Andy, many thanks for the one you brought over to the Truro plant sale, I got it planted on our return from Longstock.

Cestrum is nearly there, oddly its one of the few things that seems slow this year.

Cestrum Newelii 002 by charliepridham, on Flickr

Always think Palm flower trusses look a bit prehistoric this waggy was put in a few years back to replace a naughty bamboo I had to remove.

Sorry I missed the question hidden amongst the pictures I was enjoying!

Calceolaria flexuosa subsp chrysocalyx.

Have you any propagated? Mine is being a bit slow to get moving this year.

Chad

Thanks for the Calceolaria ID as I suspected I recognize the name so you had already told me, however this time I have labeled my picture so wont have to rely on my memory!
Not done any cuttings this year, do you need me to do some?

Thanks for the offer Charlie, my own plant will be 'broken up' for cuttings, but I have no flowers yet.

Was you flowering one out all winter?

Chad
