Ah, Marazion, the land of the umbrellas!
Welcome John. One of my old sisters lived in Mousehole for a couple of years way back.
Look forward to pictures of your garden and surrounding area icon_thumleft

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm moving in a couple of weeks so everything is in pots....the new garden will be a work in progress (a good reason to be on here methinks!!!!)....

I'm particularly interested in getting into Passiflora....can anyone recommend good websites?!

Cheers for now

John :)

John,

Take pics before and after in the new garden, you can look back then.

Welcome, John icon_cheers

Hayle, Carbis Bay and St. Ives were all favoured holiday venues for our family. Tresco and Cornish mainland gardens have been a real inspiration for my thirty years of exotics.

You're in a very favoured spot for your plants as long as you have some shelter icon_thumright

Bombard us with your pics icon_salut

Loads of Passiflora pics to be found on Facebook John icon_thumleft https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lords-Dicksonia antarctica ... ion=stream Next time we're down at the outlaws we're heading over top Hayle to check out the Parrots, I want some for the garden but I'm still trying to get an aviary and enclosure past SHMBO :lol:
