They sell FAST and are super limited. <br /><br />The Woolemia still had stature and grace - yes, beautiful despite the browning, I agree.Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-19859903639749900632022-05-13T18:52:01.922-07:002022-05-13T18:52:01.922-07:00Thanks, Danger.

So...what's with your slugs? Quite discriminating! ;) Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-90561187998883555922022-05-13T18:49:58.732-07:002022-05-13T18:49:58.732-07:00The working areas are always fun to see, I do agre...The working areas are always fun to see, I do agree. It does seem like someone's private garden, that's a really good point. It was for years - so lucky for us we get to see it since Elisabeth left it in good hands to continue on.Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-17829508918556076682022-05-13T12:09:42.780-07:002022-05-13T12:09:42.780-07:00That's definitely a garden I'd love to see...That's definitely a garden I'd love to see in person if (when!) I get up that way. There are so many beautiful plants I can't grow but a few I could. I was surprised at how beautiful the Wollemia pine was even in its brown state.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-11738616766238841332022-05-13T09:39:42.380-07:002022-05-13T09:39:42.380-07:00Sweet!

I love them. So do the slugs. While devouring the purple and orange, they seem less interested in the white blooms... is that even possible??? <br />ChavliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-45995621303636258772022-05-12T20:49:27.071-07:002022-05-12T20:49:27.071-07:00What a special day you must all have had wandering...What a special day you must all have had wandering through. Even more so as you got to check out the working areas where the greenhouse and propagation tables were. The Miller is such a beautiful garden. What makes it so special is it still seems like someone's private garden. No signs, kiosks, etc. Thanks for the tour.luv2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883799040439283011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-67280271458047978142022-05-12T20:07:41.660-07:002022-05-12T20:07:41.660-07:00Wonderful, thank you for the plant i.d. and for yo...Wonderful, thank you for the plant i.d. and for your kind words.

It was in bloom when I visited years ago and the identification was provided by Richie himself! Thanks again for allowing me to trip down memory lane!! ErikAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
