I'll be the one that all the rain is falling on.

Lucky man. There's a GW special tonight on it. Have a great time and
give a kiss to Diarmuid for me. No need for message because I don't
understand what he says most of the time )

Went to the show Yesterday, Very good, and came back with 18 new
plants, many of which have already been split or had cuttings taken
from them. Well they have to earn their keep.
The general standard was good, though the rain starting at around 1.30
didn't help, and the horendus traffic getting there, took an hour from
the M50 to the show ground.
If you can come in from the other side it would be easier, other wise
try to get there by 9am

The one plant they featured that stood out from the crowd was Mathiasella
bupleuroides. I got three of these late last year and they really are the
most fabulous plant.
Green flowers not dissimilar to a Hellebore foetidus and a glaucous blue
leaf. It seems to combine the best of the exotic and traditional .
