Now that’s what I call a lawn daisy! These is just a bedding cultivar grown from seed a couple of years ago and planted. It gets mown like any other Bellis perennis and responds in the same way - by gently spreading and flowering like mad!

A variegated sport found on a hedge at the local park. It’s not very stable as yet, however!

[The Plant Review @RHSPlantsPlus]

Two rather different seedlings of Acer ‘White Tigress’ which suggest hybridisation somewhere along the line. Does anyone have a firm idea of what the attribution or parentage of ‘White Tigress’ is? Anyway, hoping for something pretty from this pair in due course.

You see quite a lot of cedars about like this with stiff but downward pointing branches. Could they be C.deodara hybrids? This one’s in Birkenhead Park.

Quite a crop of ripe olives at 53.4 degrees North.

Well this doesn’t look promising. Echium pininana still covered in frost at lunch time. Feels like a repeat of last year.

We've been fascinated by the different shapes and sizes of Muscari, or grape hyacinth, bulbs 🧄🧅 that we have been planting up into containers this month. Look out for our trial of 50(!) different Muscari in the Trials Garden @RHSWisley flowering in spring🏆🪻 #muscari #bulbs

Hebe ‘Amy’ in a car park flowering it’s socks off in the middle of November. What a fantastic plant!

@thorogoodchris1 I don't want to put anyone off popping them, but one of us on #ThePlantReview team once heard it called "my condom bush" by a visitor to the Chelsea Flower Show asking for an identification!
