    Just edited above post and not come through. Try again

    Mr Wiki says it's a form of Knotweed Gary. Is this 'mile a minute' plant? Had one once

    Mile a minute - that's the one. I also bought some Hemerocallis. At my GC they only ever have a couple of varieties of Hemerocallis. Crocus have 15 varieties to choose from. A specialist nursery would have even more - I might try that.

    Be aware no helicopters fly anymore, it's the 'puke-boat' or aeroplane to St Mary's only now. My Aunt and Uncle live on Tresco, Anchor cottage, (it's the house with the massive anchor stuck in the seawall in front of the road! My uncle always grows lovely annuals and agapanthus in his front garden, you may well have seen it when travelling past from the quayside (which is literally 300 yards from the quay). It is a shame what has been done to the Isles of Scilly, all thanks to the wonderful work the Dorian-Smiths have done to remove any actual true 'islanders' from anywhere other than St Mary's.

    The islands are where I spent nearly every summer for 15 years for my holidays and the Abbey Gardens are splendid.

    The moment has gone now-but the sun came out for a fleeting few minutesimage

    Well golly gosh there it is againimage

  • Matty2Matty2 Posts: 4,817

    Never been to Tresco before, after we first said about going found that the helicopter was not flying - something about a 3 way dispute so may go on aeroplane., needs a bit more research. first. 

    Thanks for your inputimage

    Well come on then Geoff or are you going to wait till there's more of a crowd to save repeating yourselfimage
