Worth visiting https://www.facebook.com/strictlydaylilies this weekend for a great introduction to daylilies. They are based in Histon nr Cambridge, and not normally open to the public. Huge range of varieties, colour and forms, and plants for sale.

Planting scheme seen at Bressingham Gardens the other day. Great use of form, balance and texture.

Note I am currently without a website. I went to update it today, and discovered that the company have shut down. Will set up a new one over the next few weeks.

Here's a screenshot of the original homepage.

“Have you noticed how good hollyhocks are this year? There are more flowers and the leaves have much less fungus than normal. Overall they simply looks super. These days they are rarely planted. You probably have them self sown over generations into cracks no human can w**d out”

“Artificial Lawns are spreading at a worrying rate, fuelling an even more rapid decline of biodiversity. Until Government make these dreadful plastic landscapes illegal, we'll need to work to help people make more informed decisions in their garden. Please share far and wide”

I had one customer last year specifically asking for plants to encourage moths, so good to see this new study.

Fluttering creatures of the night are also vital pollinators of plants and flowers, say scientists.
