Pelargonium ‘Islington Peppermint’ is a favorite I don’t longer have in my collection. I’m on a lookout 👀. It’s a hybrid between P. tomentosum and P. ‘Splendide’.

Now at its glorious best is Narcissus Bath’s Flame’ another historical cultivar from my National Collection of Engleheart Narcissus. Pre-1913 I love how its elegant flowers dance in the wind and how the flowers do not fade as they age.

Some of our best loved plant groups lack a #NationalPlantCollection to care for them.

Deliciously scented #Daphne fill the winter air with their fine fragrance. This collection would be a joy to inhale.
