Red Ensettes in stock yet, B and Q, Homebase where you are?
I used to be able to these cheap from a local market, but not anymore. Has any of the stores got them in yet? I think they were in stock last year at a tenner each at b and q and around this time!
Any signs of them yet?

None in my B&Q yet. They did have a few in there last year. I bought one right at the end of the season half price. Bargain!!

Im on the prowl again this week. Found a website where you can buy 50 plugs for just over £50 pound but a little late now! There £12.99 in the garden centre, near me and the Range normally have them for £5.99 but none to mention as yet.

I beginning to wonder if a big wholesaler who has supplied these in years gone by has gone bust? You can get them on Ebay but they aren't cheap. I am going to try and culture my own.
That 50 plugs a tray place (if its the same one I looked at a few weeks ago) needs you to commit to ordering about ten trays at a time!

went to B&Q today to get a few odds and sods ... was after a few musa or similar but was hoping for a red ensette
never saw anything that interested me ... also looked at homebase
then I had to go to the city to deposit a few cheques into the bank ... had a walk around our local flea market which has a few plant/flower stalls ... spotted 2 healthy musa basjoo ... asked for the price and were £3 each, so snapped them up ...
the seller says she is there daily, and her husband grows unsual plants in his greenhouse ... asked for a few coleus, and she said that they will be available in 2 weeks time ... also asked for cannas, and she said that her husband has a fe growing, but he is not sure if they are virused
rest of her plants were just normal perrenials
here is a pic of one of the musa for £3 ... the other one is of similar size ...
I think that I will be visiting her stall on a more frequent basis
