The exotic comes to Laurel Road

I'm usually rather scathing of the plants on sale in supermarkets and DIY superstores, but if you're looking for something specific then there are bargains to be had.

Here's a group of palms and cordylines which I've bought at bargain prices and which I'll pot up and grow on before planting out.

My extra is of a row of tulips brightening up a neighbour's fence.
