Plant of the Day Thursday 24 May 2018

More floral constructions from Jens Jakobsen, the Danish Florist in London, including this cascade of Muehlenbeckia complexa (Australian ivy) brimming out of this Salix (willow) container attached to the metal fencing. The onions (Allium cepa) I shared with you on Sunday 25 March 2018 have also sprouted!

The landscape architecture and garden design students and staff of Writtle University College, Essex, were wowed by the display on the way back from a reception for them, hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) Lindley Library, London, at the launch of their collaborative exhibition ’Rethinking Repton’. Thank you to the RHS for this great opportunity and to the wonderful students for all their efforts and enthusiasm.

Plants of the Day

Wednesday 22 November 2017

In the warmer environment of central London Cyclamen persicum (florists cyclamen) cultivars and Muehlenbeckia complexa (Australian ivy, mattress vine, maidenhair vine, necklace vine, wire plant) were part of a display by Jens Jacobsen, Floral Construction. The natural habitat for Cyclamen is rocky areas among shrub vegetation. It is a tender plant which will not tolerate the frost. The Muehlenbeckia is a deciduous climber, forming dense masses of slender, wiry, interlaced stems, here creating the upholstery for a chair!
