Malvern Three Counties RHS Show

I am posting this as we head home from the Malvern RHS Show. It has been a very-much-needed mega-chilled weekend and I am going home with some plants.

First up us this massive, old. Lophophora williamsii:

I bought the cactus from MINT, who informed me that they had bought it from a South Wales grower from Stem. Whilst its far from its best appearance, who or what is in their older age?

I loved this scene from a Japanese garden design featured in the show:

And whilst I didn't buy any from the show, I will be disappointment of this tulip variety is not growing the garden.

We fould good Old Rosie in her usual spot in the show and after we both savoured her delights we continued our persulal of the gardening trade stands:

I have been wantong a set of these for years, and finally the price was right - x3 for £22.50;

And, finally, my garden buddha has been over grown by ivy, so it is time to give him a new spot in the garden. Just after telling Mrs. Pixie-Led that I was looking for a new plant to frame the Buddha statue, we turned a corner and, hey presto, not one but two Buddha display's presented themselves with the same plant:

The coincident sealed the deal aand our Buddha will soon have a beautiful new place to sspread his peaceful vibes and a lovely colourful plant as a backdrop 😎

It was a long, hot but happy day, but, soon enough, it was time to head home.
