Gingers are my favorites, but this year the squirrels discovered them and I've had trouble. Yours looks great. (The baby is too cool!) Beautiful Hedychium!

I also see that this programme is available on the ITV Player for the next 29 days. I wish they had devoted the whole programme to Will's garden, but it was nice to see the garden again. Hopefully I will be making my second visit to the garden next May. Saw The Exotic Garden on ITV1s Countrywise programme last night.

We're very much looking forward to another visit today, but as it's your NGS day, unlike last time we certainly won't have your undivided attention!! Looking forward to it nonetheless. And thank you for all the entertainment and interest your blog brings, including stories happy and sad of your beautiful cats, whose undivided attention we also enjoyed last year.

I found some Beetles sitting on some leaves yestrday and took great pleasure at picking them off and then squashing them..... Dead. Am I cruel? Strangely I have got a different variety of Lilley right next to the one the Beetles were on and it is totally untouched!!!! Perhaps it does not taste as nice?!?!
