Tony, thanks for your kind comments.
I have been taking cuttings from the Salix over the last month since new growth started these are all rooted and growing on. I have been rooting them under a mist unit but have also rooted them at other times of the year by just placing them in sand and keeping them moist, most root very easily.
Just a few weeks later and I have some cuttings rooted in damp sand using two plastic soft fruit containers as a mini propagator  :)

Thank you for this trip log, Ian. Gratifying views of the 'Machair' and outer islands wildflowers as is the weekly views of your gardens.

Nomocharis, Lilies, Arisaema and Rocscoea are all flowering in what is an unusually hot dry summer here at the Bulb Log.

Your garden still looks lush and gorgeous despite the heat. Those Harvington Roscoeas are beautiful, are they hybrids?

 I don't know for sure if they are hybrids or just selections but they are beautiful- they are also fertile as I have self sowing seedlings around some of the plants.

In this Bulb Log I review growth in troughs, the bulb house sand beds, hedge cutting and make a sad announcement.

I'm so sorry to hear your news Ian and Maggi, and hope she slipped away peacefully.  Parting is very hard.
