elvis Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I was one of the Lucky few who attended Les,s open day yesterday Aside from nearly being "roasted alive" in his greenhouse it was ,again, a great day LES grows alot of plants from seed & always has 100s of seedlings for sale at ridiculously low prices ( inm sure the pot & label are worth more than his asking price!!) As usual Les was selling lots of divisions from his "Top-shelf" plants A twin crown "Goldie" was on offer for £20!!!!! As space is an issue for Les (as it is for us all) he also had a round 20 mature plants, which he was GIVING AWAY!! FREE!!! ( THAT INCLUDED THE EXPENSIVE POTS & TAGS!!!) There were plants on sale from some of the attendees too & M.King also arrived with a tray full of "Good stuff!!" Despite all of the above, less than 10 people visited!!! Maybe its "the wrong time of month" with skool holidays just starting, but this really is an open day to Go to heres a few pics, snaps 1529 by elvis g, on Flickr seedlings on sale snaps 1531 by elvis g, on Flickr snaps 1533 by elvis g, on Flickr Crimson Queen (star of the day for me!) snaps 1534 by elvis g, on Flickr snaps 1532 by elvis g, on Flickr Note how clean this greenhouse is! snaps 1530 by elvis g, on Flickr snaps 1528 by elvis g, on Flickr PART!! of the "new" Dionaea "addiction" MAYBE you,ll not MISS OUT next year! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little-Bacchus Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) WOW! It is the green house that dreams are made of and I love the labels on the pots... is it stick on or can you get printed pots now!!!. I'd love to attend open days but work has me chained to a computer 24/7 Edit: typo Edited July 27, 2014 by Little-Bacchus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxman Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'd love to visit Les's open day, but my greenhouses are already full and I know I'd only come back with a load more plants. Maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
