I am a Plant Heritage plant guardian for Arum Miss Janay Hall, a fabulous foliage plant at risk of being lost to cultivation. She has been shortlisted in the Threatened Plant of the Year competition. Voting is open till July if you would like to vote! https://t.co/IIfo7KArWo

Such lovely late colour

Love self-seeders. A hellebore has self-seeded in the sunniest, driest bit of the garden (where the chickens dust-bathe) and is flowering now. Aeoniums have seeded in the cracks in the patio.

@BambooNigra @madaboutalpines Thank you, I will look out for it.

@thegardenspot @GdnMediaGuild Orange is the new, erm? Always a sucker for orange, and peach, goes with just about anything and adds a lovely warmth.

We should have opened our Garden Less Ordinary for the National Garden Scheme on 25th May, but we have made a virtual tour instead in the hope that we can still raise much needed funds for nursing and health charities. We hope you enjoy.

Anyone know what this flying creature is? It's not in my insect book.

Fabulous @GdnMediaGuild summer party at the Garden Museum. Thank you @Concraigsmith and @Stocktonbury for organising.
