I’m in awe, Dave 😳 That’s fantastic 👍 I think mine needs a much larger pot!!! 😘

@jacaranda thanks barbara, its nice to know ive done something right 😁

Isn’t that fabulous Dave 😀

Looking at your photos and your videos you’ve done lots right, Dave 👍😂😘

@sieveheadsarah its one im proud of sarah. I think it likes its spot.

I think you’re right Dave and proud you should be. 😀

As you should be 😉 @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

Morning all. Todays Favorite 🤗

What's that triangle thing behind the plants? A stack of pots? A bug hotel?

@sushiwaitress its a bug hotel ruth, but #frank my dog keeps pulling all the cones and sticks out of it. Only he could get away with this 😂

#foliagefriday

That's such a lovely combination Dave

@DeborahBanks thanks Deborah, the best thing about pots. You can shuffle them around a bit.

I really like your phormium too, I've been trying to decide on one.

@DeborahBanks thats getting settled now Deborah, which means it'll probably double in size this year.

Morning all. Its cold and wet here, but im out there giving it so wellie 💪👊👍 my #loropetalum is looking well.

Go Dave - right back at cha 🤛🏻

Great colour on this at the moment.

That's fab Dave

@DeborahBanks it was even better deborah until a wood pigeon sat on it and broke the top branch 🙄

I’ve got some overweight wood pigeons- but what’s a bird to do ? 🤣😜

Your flowers are early Dave it’s usually spring....👍🏼

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom it said late winter on the label elaine. Oh well , autumn, winter , and spring, will have to do. My rhododendron is flowering aswell 🤔

Just had a look on label and it says...Loropetalum ‘fire dance’ flowers spring so it’s slightly different but the same....🥺

#foliagefriday

#loropetalum looking great in the sun 🤗

#foliagefriday

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co do you give it winter protection ♥️👌

@suerichards i didnt last winter sue, and it looked pretty poor. Its in a sheltered spot, but does need protecting really. I will be this year. Could do with a big greenhouse really.

Enjoying the rain 🌧

#foliagefriday enjoying the rain, unlike me 😟🌧

This has been tucked away for far to long. Time to let it show off.

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co is this a Chinese witch hazel? I’ve put mine in the ground but wondering if I need to put it in a pot and in different soil or regular soil. 🤔

@pixierose its a loropetalum, christine. There not really frost hardy, so reccomend bringing indoors in winter.

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co that’s what mine is called but in brackets it says Chinese Witchhazel. Thank you for the advice on hardiness. I think I’ll put it in a pot. 😊🙏🏼

@pixierose i dont know why they have to call them different names, its so confusing 😂

Definitely confusing Dave.

Recovered after the winter.

Looking better now 😊

Slowly making a comeback.

Was so dissapointed when this arrived, but it slowly looking better. If you can get a nice one, what a great plant .

Looks like it's responding well to your TLC! Very pretty!

Was looking at these in our GC, they were standards and beautiful...👌🏼

It looks superb 💕💕

Slowly starting to look better after a battering being delivered.

Easily the worst conditioned plant ive recieved to date off mail order companies, but quite a few flowers appearing, so maybe itll be ok.

Quite dissapointed when this arrived. Hopefully now its repotted it might come on a bit 🤔

Oh is this the beauty you showed us.....it will be fine I’m sure..😘

Im hoping so elaine. It got a battering being delivered 😢 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Looks great in that pot , I’m sure it will recover as the weather gets warmer 👍

My plants arrived. Not so pleased with it really. Nowhere near as nice as the one in the g/c but ill give it a go 😏

Love the foliage colour 👍

I paid 30 +delivery for this. It said it would be about 30 ins which it might just be from the bottom of the pot, a bit misleading really. See how it gets on with a bit of tlc 🤗 @debrascott
