anybody else missing the rhododendrons...........

the plantations just don't look the same without them.

Happily they still thrive at Gidlow cemetery and look terrific.

I liked the rhododendrons, I-spy, but I quite like to see the way the woods are developing without them, too. The conservation pigs are growing on me too. (Facebook)

Rhododendron, is a nice flower, evergreen, it lasts forever, but it can't beat the Strand power !

I mentioned them on a earlier posting and always thought they looked terrific as you went in from the big gates on Wigan lane and there used to be lots on the way down to the brook and the Puzzling walkd I oresume the walks are still there shame if they have gone

disease spreaders.although the way the have been disposed of means like terminator, they will be back.sawing them down just means they sprout up again,they have to be grubbed up from the root system.

Soon be looking like Wiggins version of Disneyworld.

Should be cleared out all over the country,waste of space,they flower for a short time and kill the ground for any other plants.

and you got willy wavers hiding in them

a foreign species, another bloody immigrant.i await the triumvirates responses immediately.

BB are you talking about the willy wavers or the Rhododendrons

I don't think he means the Rhododendrons.

Either is possible scoop!

two birds with one stone, excellent.

I have a lovely one growin in a Very old beer barrel and this year how it got there I dont know but sprouting from the soil is a Buddlia ==seed blown by the wind if I had tried to plant one it would have dies so now O have 2 different plants and I love them bpth

Elizabeth..last year I got two buddleias,one white
and one red..they were only a few inches high..now
they're about eight feet tall and the flowers are
twelve inches long..only today I've taken cuttings
off them for a friend..what colour is yours.?

momac..when you take your cuttings do you put them in water or plant them in soil?

Marsin,I put these buddleia cuttings in soil..but
some cuttings do better in water..what I normally
do is when I take cuttings off any plant is put
one in water and one in soil and see which prefers
which.

Hi the one growing in the barrel at the front of the house has no flowers as yet but the one at the bottom of my 120ft back garden is the most lovely shade of Lilac, I presume it is a seedling from the back
