Gorgeous and going on my wish list!

Thanks for posting that link! While the plants are pretty cool, I was really taken by seeing Brian May and his look-alike garden gnome. I am a huge Queen fan so to see this iconic figure from rock and roll (and maybe the greatest guitarist ever!) and his gnome auctioned off for charity was really moving and very unexpected.

I also liked the show gardens and other features they showed.

Pieter that is terrible news. I would imagine these were produced by tissue culture.

Beautiful hosta! Too bad to hear about the HVX - that's not the way you want to make an introduction to the world!

Nice article on the gnomes, and fun to see that the flower show is loosening up a bit, especially for a good cause. I like the comedian Billy Bailey's - an ode to imperfection, an anti-AI stance.

And is the hosta breeder's name really Ninja?? Lol if it's a nickname, it's awesome. If it's his/her given name, hmm.....

Just a quick follow-up to my earlier post vis-a-vis HVX. Hornbakers didn't ship any plants and since the HVX issue came to light Plant Addicts have advised those who had been shipped plants to destroy them upon receipt and credits would be issued to be used on other product....

That’s a beauty!

My wife showed me this earlier and I may be the only one, but the color combo of that plant make me queasy. Grey, pinkish red and green. It looks like a sauce gone bad.
