    OK - got a busy week coming up so am proposing ......

    I’ll pick up @LG_ and @Liriodendron at 9am from Woking Station, meaning that we should be able to meet @Big Blue Sky outside the Grand New Wisley entrance at 9.30 ......does that sound like a plan?

    if it doesn’t suit then please yell - I am super flexible, and this is just a suggestion ......
    9.30, Saturday, at the entrance - sounds like a perfect plan. Looking forward to seeing everybody there. 😊

    Just getting ready to leave to catch the train to catch the overnight coach to London...  looking forward to meeting you, @Big Blue Sky, and seeing @chicky and @LG_ again...   :D

    @B3 is coming too! Unless I've missed something, which is entirely possible at the moment. 

    What time do you arrive in London,  @Liriodendron?

    I'm just sorting out my photos. So many! I think I'll just post a few today, rather than waiting until I've gone through them all, otherwise I'll forget to do it at all.

    Great to meet you, @Big Blue Sky :smiley: Hope you had as good a day as I did.

    The plant of the weekend has to be Acca Sellowiana (aka 'Pineapple Guava'). We saw it and puzzled over it at Kew, @chicky saw mention of it on Instagram, then we saw it again at Wisley... and it was even on sale in the shop :smile:

    And the plant of the Wisley day had to be Dierama (Angel's Fishing Rod). We spotted one good one, then another, then an even better one - all the most typical deep pink. And then we saw a paler pink, and an even paler one, and a lovely soft brick red which was a bit smaller. And finally a deep purple. We got quite blasé about them after a while!

    (Don't worry, @Obelixx, we made sure to take some 'vistas' and plant combinations for you too)
