yes there should be some in the princess of wales conservatory and maybe in the palm house
however unfortunately I can not see any in the temperate house because it is closed for maintenance work

Yes. I recently supplied a small plant of Langenbuscher Garten to Kew Gardens. If you spot it take a snap or two.....

Any awesome flowers, maybe a Bird of Paradise type flower for color.

If any I would like a copy of one please Call.

Enjoy your day out.

I'd be interested in unusual, preferably large, leaf [hardy] plants

How did you end up supplying plants to Kew?

Shame the temperate house is closed as I would have liked to see how the cordyline indivisa in a pot is doing.

Long story but to keep it short, a few weeks ago i sent a rooted Brugmansia langenbuscher garten which was propagated from my own plant ,off to one of the Heads of Department at Kew . What he wanted it for and what became of it i don't know .
Must have had his reasons or at least taken a shine to the parent for some reason.
