Title: I do like a bargain!
Post by: David Nicholson on November 07, 2007, 09:12:05 PM: Had a trip today to a little and reasonably local nursery I haven't used before (no mail order so all of you need not rush) and came back with:-
Cyclamen cilicum
" " forma album
a big pot of Galdiolus papilo
Haberlea rhodopensis
Sprekelia formosissima x 2
Haemanthus albifloss
Zephyranthes labuffarosa
Lapeirousia divaricata (I went for L. oreogena but he had lost it)

When it came to paying time the bill came to £11 (15.8 Euro)

I shall be back on numerous occasions ;D

You really can't lead us on like this without telling us who the nursery is! It's too cruel >:(

Post by: SueG on November 09, 2007, 02:55:45 PM: Maggie the car is now better, and I'm not completely ruined financially, but Devon is just too far for a day trip! However you never know who else might be passing and open to a bit of persuassion. ;D
