Newly planted mini cyclamen wilting and falling over?
Check for vine weevil larvae pictured here. They eat the roots of many plants and this grower has failed to control this pest before selling them.

Not fussed by the drought that has killed so many plants in our garden, Lily Turf (Liriope muscari) is now blooming strongly.

It's #floodactionweek in the UK. We could learn a lot from urban flood mitigation in Portland, Or.
My blog on it during winter 2023.

I wish mine had as many fruits this year!

Like billowing clouds, these yew trees @thenewtsomerset look fantastic!
They were almost this big when they were bought from a Belgium grower and transplanted here back in (I think) 2018.

Rhus typhina aka Stag’s Horn Sumach showing great #autumncolour already. Judging by the dense large fruit clusters I think this must be a female plant.
