A week or so ago there was mention of Dahlia imperialis. *There is a
short article and picture in today's online WMN about one flowering at
Bicton Agricultural College in Devon

Thanks

very



much for posting this. Bicton has a garden worth visiting and this
is a timely reminder. *And my step-son, step-daughter and daughter have
all done different courses there over the years. *It's an excellent
facility.

Yes it is, I attended livestock economics lectures there early in my
days with Defra. *I remember that there was an amazing avenue of huge
monkey puzzle trees bordering the drive to the original house.

They're still there. *This is far from being my favourite tree but I
have to admit that in such a wide and long avenue they're very imposing
and in just the right situation.

field to find no card in the camera, now it's raining again.
