Shady Plants- Fern Nursery

Day 2 here at Woodstock. It should be more of a showery day compared to yesterday's rain and by popular demand, I brought in more Colocasia Black Magics!
Some lovely features in the gardens, a Noble Fir Walk, a Monkey Puzxle Tree Walk and a 19th century shady rockery, my kind of plant habitat!

A beautiful Emperor Dragonfly had to be rescued from a tunnel. It soon recovered and flew off. Now get those Blind Doctors my friend!

The last day begins of what has been a very successful and enjoyable show! Many thanks to the organisers and the many wonderful customers. Never have I had so much banter at a show, so many stories and tales😅. Thanks all for making me feel so very welcome and at home.
