Our 2011 Plant list is out...

The new 2011 plant list is on the website! Click here to find it. I can't guarantee we'll have everything in, all of the time - it is my entire forecast list for 2011. So do email me or phone first to check if you want a specific plant.

I'm glad I've got this job out of the way, it takes ages cross-checking all the plant names against the latest correct list. Two major name changes to point out:

- Schizostylis becomes Hesperantha. This one's OK, I quite like the new name and will get used to it

- Dicentra spectabilis becomes Lamprocapnos spectabilis. This one is horrible - a cludgy word, made more complicated by the fact that some plants stay in Dicentra, though not this best known one, the common Bleeding Heart.

Finishing the list leaves me a bit freer to get on with the book, although with the weather improving it feels as if I should be making serious progress outside - our first huge delivery of plants arrives in a month and we aren't ready. And the talks season starts tomorrow.
