Spring is such an exciting time of the year when there's so much growth and activity going on in the garden that one is spoilt for choice on what to highlight. Times like this, instead of only highlighting one it's better to just immerse oneself and enjoy the variety of plant flushes here and there...
Lots of flushing going on in the greenhouse and just to highlight a few:
Nothopanax delavayi 'Stout' (syn. Metapanax delavayi 'Stout')
Nothopanax delavayi (syn. Metapanax delavayi)
Fatsia polycarpa (large leaf form) - we've seen the mother plant in the flesh and the leaves were between 2-3 feet across!
And even more out in the garden as you can imagine:
Short and shrubby Daphniphyllum macropodum var. humile Female, with small leaves and grows up to a meter tall only
While this Daphniphyllum macropodum is a tall one! Nice colourful flush of leaves too!
You can start to see the pink - Rhododendron 'Wine and Roses'
Rather strange and unusual but not worried about it, this Schefflera taiwaniana have shed all of its old leaves as soon as it started to flush new ones.
Got to love the new flush of Schefflera delavayi
A quick skip back into the greenhouse to see the Cussonia spicata flushing
Then back out to admire this Dicksonia antarctica putting out so many new fronds!
Not sure which Rodgersia this is, possibly 'Chocolate Wings' but I'm just glad to see it make an appearance again
Not to be left behind, Fatsia japonica 'Annelise'
and Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web'
And a new addition to the garden, the replacement to the one we just recently lost, Aesculus parviflora
So much going on in the garden. Spring is so wonderful isn't it?Mark :-)
