Marcus Harvey's latest catalogue is out ( it's not only bulbs, by the way ) .... he ships internationally, Folks!! Contact him for phyto costs etc.

Enjoy the catalogue, if only for the illustrations by his clever partner Suzie. :)
(That's not all you will enjoy, I'm sure!)

This year the catalogue is of a size to be posted here !

Hillview's website is http://www.hillviewrareplants.com .... Marcus tells me there may be a few minor errors to fix on there still but I'd visit anyway ;)

Here's an example of Suzies work...
Lillium japonicum
