Tombrick with Hosta
I am pleased to say I had a visit today from Margaret (Hosta).
After a spell at mine, we took a trip to the Tombrick Garden which is near here.
It was lovely to have someone to natter with as we wandered around the gardens. It was a super day and the scent from Dianthus 'Mrs Sinkins' wafted through the air. Note to self : find seed for next year!
Hosta certainly lived up to her name , proving quite the expert on her namesake herbaceous plant and helping the owner with nomenclature for plants in his garden.
We 'descended' briefly on the plant sales and Margaret's quick eye found the last pot of Japanese Parsley (Crytotaenia japonica atropurpurea). I might have been jealous but the kindly owner went and dug up a seedling for me too from the garden.
A great day.
