On a visit to our centre in Landford I picked up this little treasure.


Clerodendrum Prospero.

Our manager David had spotted it on one of the houseplant listings we have through each week. As none of our plant experts had heard of this variety before we decided to order a few out of curiosity and in came these absolutely gorgeous plants. Clerodendrum Prospero was discovered in India by the Danish botanist Nathaniel Wallich. A vigorous flowering plant with exotic but dainty white clusters of hanging flowers that are set off beautifully by the glossy green leaves. It should flower for a good amount of time if kept in a light spot, gets watered regularly but sparingly and has a feed every now and again.

Our receptionist Lin is a very keen Grow Your Own-er and has been nagging me for weeks about when our seed potatoes to grow for Christmas will be in. Well Lin (and all you other Good Life types) they are now in and selling fast! If you plant them now you can have freshly harvested potatoes to go with the Turkey and trimmings on Christmas day.
