NEWS FROM THE ISLAND

Those are multi-coloured freesias starting to come up through the conifer ground cover.
NO FLOWERS AROUND AT THE MOMENT BUT there are always the bromeliads to add the bright spots to the dark green winter gardens until the bulbs start their display in another month. My sister, Diana Holt, though, who is an enthusiastic hybridiser of  Bromeliads, and who has just returned from an international conference  in USA on them, would not say these were the best examples and colours available. But Bromeliads really appreciate poor soil, poor feeding, and very little care as long as they can get some sun - therefore an all-round excellent Island plant for me.
