That old rhododendron with the wallabies stretched out underneath it is a fantastic sight. I wonder what age that must be. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |

Must admit it was your post about Wallabies that prompted me to join Flickr and upload some of the photos I took last week. I thought the combination of huge old Rhodes in an English landscape and Wallabies, especially the white one, rather surreal. As for age, I do know the gardens were started by the Hubbard family (?) and have been in the Loder family for a century. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |

That's it - we're moving in. ;-) I'm very glad you've uploaded those photos because, in fact, they've prompted me to book ourselves a parking space at Greenway. Ray knows it well having been a friend of the former head gardener there for years but I've never been. Because our own Nursery is so busy, days and weeks go rolling past and we suddenly wake to the fact that we haven't visited x, y, or z garden. You've nudged my memory so thank you for that and your lovely photos. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |

I've visited there 4 times in the '90s, and it poured with rain on 3 of those occasions. The fourth time I was luckier. My favourite Rhodo is the giant Loderi 'King George', which I think you've snapped. (Big scented white blooms, pink in bud and opening). You can't miss it when you see it |

You can't miss it when you see it Our Lady Alice Fitzwilliam is finished for this year and is still a comparative youngster, in a pot on a lawn. There's another in the garden. The fragrance is stop in you in your tracks gorgeous. Is the King George scented? -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |

It's such a beautiful colour, too. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |
