Brace Yourself Japan…

… He’s arrived 😀

What a wife to put up with all this shortly after arriving in Japan on Honeymoon.

I will endeavour to keep you all appraised of Phil the Fingers exploits .

I see he chickened out of a two fingers salute with the main men 😉

Accent of the Day – Hosta Gingee

Had this variety for ages and is well suited to accent pot culture. I have only just had it identified as Gingee by Bali Hai Nursery.

Pollen

Alot of trees seem to be having a good year as far as flowers go. I have seen a lot more flowers on pines, Scots, Mugo and Japanese White.

This ones a Mugo at Stephen’s house the other day. Anybody else seeing more of this this year?

This Common Juniper also at Stephen’s only had to be touched to raise a cloud of pollen.

Accent of the day – Lewisia

I have a lot of accent hitting their best at the moment, so I’m going to pop one or two up each day until I run out of plants or interest, whichever comes first 🙂
