Quite a bit of pricking out to do at some point. These cyclamen seedlings are from last years sowings of seed collected from my own plants including C.cyprium, C.graecum, C.confusum, C.mirabile etc. #fairviewyearround

The frosts earlier in the week have decimated the top growth of these Pilea, Impatiens, Hemiboa and Isodon, most should come back in the spring, although some of the pileas will have been killed outright, fortunately plenty of cuttings in the greenhouse. #fairviewyearround

Well done Scotland, great result. Hopefully Wales can still make it, fabulous result for them too.

I guess any tree with sequoia in its name should be planted with a degree of caution. This Metasequoia glyptostroboides is about 30 years old and I can’t help wondering how long it will be before it overpowers the garden. It’s a fabulous thing though. #fairviewyearround

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...
