Southport Flower Show

  • Mood: Contented
Well we went on the 18th of August and what a day!  It poured it down for most of the afternoon.  Luckily there were plenty of indoor displays so we didn't get completely drenched.

It was a good day, there were so many stalls to see.

And we bought two very useful additions for Growing Matters

Both are carnivores.  One 'Pitcher Plant' - Purpurea SSP Venosa,  has found a home in the Alpine house where it is thriving.




The other will be of much more use in our fight against the dreaded Whitefly
It's a 'Pinguicula x Wesser Butterwort'  According to the sign the Victorians used it to deal with whitefly.  And it already seems to be working.




It loves them!  Now all we need a are a few more for the whole greenhouse and maybe some for the Tomato House.  

Anyway Southport was a good show this year.  Just so much to buy.  And there were some great displays of carnivorous plants on show.

Can't wait for next year!
