Suteki

Plenty of things impressed me at the weekend and not just the Exhibition itself. I was also delighted to have the opportunity to buy from a few of the trade stands.

My first purchases, albeit small ones, were from Suteki, Simon Haddon, Bonsai monkey. He’s even more names than me 😀  He had a small but packed display and I took up one of his great offers for multi purchases. When I eventually get them planted up, I’ll share the results here.

In the mean time, here’s his stand.

This is Simon’s tree, a Lonicera that won a Certificate of Merit.

BSA Exhibition 2012 – Accents

Going to try and work my way through the photos I have taken over the weekend and add them here is some sort of order.

I’ll start with my favourite accents from the show.

 

Accent Tidy up

I tidied up a few accents today in case I need any for next weekend. Nothing very exciting but nice in their own way.

To this with a little weeding and a little moss added.

Bonsai Accents

It’s great to see Bonsai Accents getting a little of the limelight for a change.

Accents Potted up

I managed to get those Alpines I purchased the other day potted up into a few spare pots.

Here’s how they look now.

Accents for now and the future

A few of my accents are just coming into flower. Typical, as the display was 2 weeks ago. I also purchased a few Alpines a couple of days ago to make into accents. Here’s the photos.

Dwarf Irises

A Rhodoypoxis starting to show, I thought I had lost them all during the Winter.

and the new guys on the block!

Flowering Accent

For the life of me I can’t remember what this one is! It’s true, once you pass 40 the memory goes down hill rapidly 😦

Hosta Flowers Hurry Up!

I’ve been trying to get these two hosta accent plants to produce flowers in time for the club display this weekend. I put them in a shady corner in the poly tunnel hoping the extra heat will boost them on. One isn’t looking hopeful but the other one might just make it.

I love the long stalks with purple flowers dangling from the end. One of my favourite accents.

Hostas and flowers

Stephen’s collection of hostas were just beautiful today and I managed to get a few pics of them and other flowers in his garden. Here’s a selection. Anyone know the name of the blue one? It’s a native bog plant.

Accents

A few more. They still need to fill out but they are starting to look the part.
