"Colwell" Miniature zonal pelargonium |
Hybridised by Brian West and introduced through Denmead
Nursery, “Colwell “is a miniature zonal pelargonium. The semi-double flowers are a dark peach
colour and the leaves are green. This
is a cross between Peggy West and Little Alice.
I went to The RHS Hampton Court flower show on Sunday
with my friend, Marie. We had a wonderful
day. It is a really huge show and we think we saw pretty much all of it. Yes, we did buy some plants – even though
Marie was quite definite that she would not!
Sadly I did not get any pelargoniums.
Fibrex Nursery had had a very
good week and did not have anything I wanted.
Here are some of the photo’s I took – enjoy!

Looking at the maize - not sure I would want either of these in my garden, although the second one with the ferns instead of the maize would be OK |

I thought these were 'neat'. They are the topiary shapes you can buy in the garden centre - filled with moss and then these succulents grown in it. They make a good alternative to the usual box plants. |
Now I look forward to next year's Hampton Court Flower Show.
Thanks Gwen,,thanks for photos,got little peek in show :) Loved bonsai and cactus display !
