    Clearly didn't pay enough attention to the more rounded petals @Dovefromabove I think may have narrowed it down to this miniature

    I absolutely loved tonight's GW.  In fact, the expressions of the man with muscari made me giggle heartily.  His description of certain tulips as "hard boiled eggs on sticks", of dahlia in its unfashionable phase as a "dirty word" and his almost contemptuous response to an ill-named variety, "there's nothing maxima about it!" seemed to me wittily amusing and rather arresting.


    I shall miss GW, Monty, the dogs and everything that the programme includes.  It's going to be a long winter.

    I liked the way that chap rolled his r's too @Sam 37👍😂 I found that piece quite interesting.

    So did I!  Reminded me of a certain music teacher teaching us how to sing "Shalom Haverrrrim" for some school assembly to celebrate World Peace Day, I think!

    Always feels a slightly dark time of the year when GW ends.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Loved the last episode of GW the guy rolling his "R's" you don't often hear such good diction it seems as out of fashion as Muscari, Sue Kent inspirational enthusiasm wonderful, the garden that Adam visited something for everyone there. Look forward to the three shows later in the year.

    You have seen the advert for funerrrrral plans then. It involves parsnips too, so might appeal to gardeners who are thinking of dying soon.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I watched it yesterday and thought he [rrrr man]  came across as rather pompous.
    Just my opinion, before anyone jumps down my throat  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
