Comments on: High summer at the Exotic Garden… http://www.exoticgarden.com/blog/the-garden/high-summer-at-the-exotic-garden/ A subtropical garden in a temperate climate that defies being in a city.

I did not see the old one so its all new to me. I visited for the first time in about 8 or so years and its more lovely now than it was before. BTW I have fallen for one of your cats, sorry. He (or she, I did not notice) sat upon the lap whilst taking tea and I became quite attached. I have renewed gardening vigour now as last year left me wondering why I bothered. Thankyou.

Unfortunately it is very difficult to leave the garden at this time of year; hence I will not be able to get down to Kent to see you. Would it be possible to send some by post, alternately, if you could make it up to Norfolk it would be a pleasure to show you around the garden. My dear Baker I am so pleased that the Begonia luxurians grew so exceedingly well for you – the cutting I had from your plant is still only 18ins tall but beautiful never-the-less. 8 feet tall is pretty big, though I am not surprised seeing as you live in California! It would have been a much bushier plant had you pinched out the tip at around 2-3 feet tall. Do pinch the tip out now before it goes through the roof! You could always try air-layering it half way up... islandgal246 Thank you for the lovely comment – it’s amazing what you can get away with in the good old UK – if you have a warm microclimate – at least I think that is where I live! I jst had a look at your blog – I was in Barbados last spring – next time I’m over I must give you a visit... Panier JPierre

I shall come to Kent next week. How can I do for giving you some plants ? First you choose what you want. Where I can send you the list ? Have you an occasion to go to Kent ? All the best.

The new website looks terrific and I easily get to the new blog by clicking on it from the website. As always, your garden is a thing of wonder. I think back about the first time I saw it in about 1995 - it was amazing but now it's amazing-er. By the by, I emailed you re my begonia luxurians which has decided to shoot up to about 8 feet and look pretty scrawny. Any advice would be soooooo appreciated. Maybe cut it back, move it into more sun... I amazed you can find time to blog in high garden season but please don't quit - I love reading what's up with you. Coco sends his love. We miss you!
