It might interest you to know that last week our friend, Ken Edwards, helped us dig out ALL the agave scabra as it had taken over the raised desert bed where I innocently planted a tiny one 10 years ago. It actually broke apart the redwood frame of the raised bed! I kept one of them and potted it up where it will sit on paving on a stand and not have the opportunity to sucker frantically and destroy the mended bed. Coco and I will think of you tomorrow and send buckets of good wishes for a successful turnout. xoxo Bakey Dearest Willsers,

No I do not have any Roscoea, but just been reading about them in your book. I am thinking about getting Osmunda Regalis which should survive our winters as it is native to the UK!!!!! I am also interested in the evergreen Woodwardia Fimbriata. These are both very tall ferns and look very nice from the phoos I have seen. I have 2 Trachycarpus Wagnerianus coming tomorrow from George at The Palm House. Hi Will. No I do not have any Roscoea, but just been reading about them in your book.

Cautleya spicata robusta is another lovely ginger – do you have any Roscoea? See you on Aug 22nd...

Hedychium Coccineum Tara, Densiflorum Stephen, Densiflorum Assam Orange, Forrestii and Gardnerianum have all started growing over the last 2 to 3 weeks. I have just added to my Ginger collection with the purchase of 3 CAUTLEYA SPICATA ROBUSTA. Another favourite which has survived is my 3 clumps of Eucomis Bicolor and also Eucomis Pole-Evansii. I lost both of my Agave Americana's but my 2 small Agave Montana's survived totally unprotected!!! I am looking forward to visiting the Exotic Garden again on Sunday 22 August.
