If we are at Day 7 there are only two more days to go of this Chelsea Fringe Event, I shall miss it when it is over as I have really enjoyed the treasures everyone has shared. The weather has been so horrid here today I am impressed by anyone being out there finding treasures so a huge thank you!
Barbara Segall, over on instagram, shared this beautiful Silene fimbriata which she says is 'rising like a green tide in the border'; I can just picture it.
Barbara also shared this Hebe hulkeana as a treasure and it is such a delicate pretty thing. I confess of not always thinking too kindly of Hebes but never judge a whole genus by the ones you tend to see in car parks! This one I would find room for any day of the week. A worthy treasure.
Karen Gimson's treasure is this new growth on the beech tree in her garden that evoked memories of when they first saw the house before they bought it. This counts as special treasure: a memory attached always adds extra value.
This 'humble' tray of lettuce was the treasure shared by Plantnews This seemingly mild lettuce proved its mettle by resisting the winds and rain of the last 24 hours and did not fly off the top of the water butt where it had been resting. It stayed put magnificently which makes it a loyal treasure.
