Have just been visiting The Plant Specialist a nursery near here as it
was the NGS day.
Lovely afternoon here in Amersham and a lot of hardy plants were in
great flower!
Sean showed us a plant he has just acquired (stock won't be available
until next year) a beautiful gladiolus papillio "Ruby"
An intense magenta colour and very striking. Everyone saw it in his
nursery stock and was asking about it.
Mind you I also saw Twining's After Eight dahlia for the first time and
a lovely Erigeron called "sommerneuschnee" and bought both as I was
looking for something white to stand out in the evening garden.

Anyone tried any of these plants? Are they successful?

Janet (off to see how many Erigerons I can make from 1 purchase!)
