Never done this before. A good time of year to dig

Never done this before. A good time of year to dig up Canna Lily rhizomes and split them and share them round the garden. We are replanting a third of each group where they were and the rest are going into our new tropical beds. Curiously these are not true lilies but are part of the Order Zingiberales along with gingers and bananas. Indeed these have dark leaves very like Ensete ventricosum ‘Maurelii’.

Neither a plant nor an animal! Near me, ‘Southborough House’. ‘Southborough conservation area originally formed part of the grounds of Southborough Estate, which centred on Southborough House. Thomas and Sarah Langley commissioned the famous Regency architect, John Nash, to build Southborough House on the former Kingston Common in 1808. The main house, the garden building to the west, and Southborough Lodge are Grade II listed buildings and the oldest buildings within the area. The Ordnance Survey dated 1868 shows Southborough House and Southborough Farm (now demolished) as the only properties within the boundaries of Brighton Road, Ditton Road, and the Portsmouth to London Railway line.’

Agave parryi var. chihuahua. From @thepalmcentre.

Agave parryi var. chihuahua. From @thepalmcentre. A terrific plant. Been outside all winter. Found on open slopes of the Chihuahuan desert region. I only started growing Agaves last year. Repotting them is best described as ‘interesting’. Thick gloves required and in this case a nice wooden spatula to ease it out of the pot. A surprising amount of root. Somehow managed with no injuries to myself or the plant. Repotted in a mix of compost, sharp sand and grit.

Passiflora ‘Violetta’ by Leopold Ševčík. He was a great Czech Passiflora breeder active in the 1990’s. He lived on a farm and little is known about him.

This curious looking creature is a Trachycarpus fortunei palm tree. Recently had a hair cut and the exposed bases of the fronds have gone orange rather than green. 🤭 It has also produced some adventitious roots that have yet to reach the soil. This is normal in older Trachycarpus palms.

7 foot of Dicksonia antarctica from above. Since its arrival about a month back from the fantastic @thepalmtreecompany watered daily as required and nice to see a bit of green up there. Hopefully ‘The Fronz’ will kick into life in the next few weeks.

Agave lopantha ‘Quadricolor’. The species originated in Mexico and this stunning selection is widespread now. Relatively small for an Agave nevertheless it has pesky spines and thick gloves were needed to separate off the pup. I was surprised to see the roots had gone right down to the foot of the pot.
