Potting shed notes

More Cornish purchases echoing Bocombeposted: 24/3/2008 at 14:56:29
On our recent visit to the south of Cornwall we purchased a number of new plants, including four new Tree Ferns we mentioned in the our last week’s notes. Also panted in a sheltered part of the Stumpery near the Cyathea cooperii is a tenderish Asplenium bulbiferum, the New Zealand “Hen and Chicken” fern, that we purchased at Treverna Cross too.

We also bought a hardly Chilean fern, Blechnum chilense, which is planted in our shady bog garden alongside Willow Brook with its collection of Ligullaria and Rodgersia. Planted close by the fern, a new Snow Poppy (Eomecon cinionantha), that we’d seen at Tregwainton Gardens (NT). Their Magnolias were magnificent, and we also noticed they’d planted a large number of Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwoods) dotted about the gardens. Not quite the quantity we’ve planted in our Metasequoia glyptostroboides Grove at Bocombe Mill Cottage, which we grew from seed. They’re now developing into fair sized specimens!
