SixOnSaturday

The Beast from the East arrived during the hebdomad , bring virulent winds and disruptive snow . I ’m alright Jack , I was in Connecticut where it was quite modest and sunny in comparison . I did have seedling anxiousness as a result , being 3000 miles off and not knowing if they were hold up the winter weather was not good – I must get a entanglement - River Cam instal in he greenhouse . Anyhow , time for Six on Saturday . Six things , in the garden , on a Saturday . Could be anything – a instrument , a job to do , a flower , an emerging flora , seedlings , a build , anything at all ! Join in !

Given my emplacement this hebdomad , I have cheated a little , so Blue Peter dash , here are Six I prepared earlier , from a visit to RHS Wisley last Saturday good afternoon .

1 – Prunus serrula . The peeling barque of this prunus is quite attractive anyway , but even better with the sun behind it .

2 – Rubus cockburnianus . No sniggering at the back . There are massed ranks of this plant in the wintertime walk of life at Wisley , they make quite an shock together . The theme are silvery bloodless , and very bristly . I had press cutting of one of these but killed them . I covet this plant but could never achieve the overall effect , the surface area planted with them at Wisley was bounteous than my entire garden .

3 – Butterfly . Blue one . One of the greenhouse at Wisley is plate to a thingumyjig of butterflies . I ’m not sure what the collective noun of butterflies is . A flock ? A swarm ? A horde ? I ’m using “ thingumyjig ” . A thingumjig of butterfly . I can distinguish you it is a grave misapprehension to wander round a tropical red-hot - planetary house weary winter paraphernalia ( it was bitter insensate outside ) . Within s we were a puddle on the level .

4 – Helebore army . There were helebores everywhere , thousands and thousand of them , unlike people of color .

5 – Bamboo , bambusa chungii . These tremendous bamboo stems were in one of the aforementioned glass - household . These were two stories marvellous at least , and very thick .

6 – Cornus sanguinea ‘ mid - winter fervidness ’ . A very colorful display , loads of coppiced shrub in their winter finery . Impressive .
