@HG_Philip Well done Philip! Must visit this year and see your handiwork.

@Lindacdsa @RHSWisley We had only very light rain today in coastal East Sussex with sunny intervals in between. I think it poured all night and most of the day over in West Sussex. On a brighter note the growth in my garden is phenomenal. Often we get next to no rain in February and March.

@UltingWick Wasn't it wonderful Philippa? Me too, but then this for tomorrow. Spare us! Aaargh....

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

@orchid_porn Yes you should!

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

Great day at Wisley yesterday. All looking immaculate.

@Matt_Pinner Hi Matt! Fabulous photo as always

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

@urbanponds101 Of course!

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

@urbanponds101 Iceberg is lovely in my view, much easier and goes on for much longer. Madame Alfred is a cussed old thing. Never had any success with it. Anyway good luck!

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

@rockerblonde Very nice. Meanwhile here Lovely Virgin Angel is in flower. Thank you Chris!

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

@JohnRamsden13 Nobilissima ! I have it too. Flowers from November till May. Fabulous variety.

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

Here are my two three year old Camellias "1001 Summer Nights Jasmine", supposed to flower from Spring to Autumn. Mine do it the other way round - from November to the end of May. Love them though.

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

@JohnRamsden13 I have.

@UltingWick Have a lovely Christmas Philippa. Hope you managed to get your usual myriad of tulips planted despite all that rain.

[Philip Kent @pipkent]

I mean, really, BiBi.
