Why have I never seen not just very large Mollusc Azalea's but even yellow in Australia? Forget that question, I am having a flashback to one or two of your videos containing such plants in Australian gardens. I'm intrigued enough to go back and have another look. Ok my question now is, where can I get my hands on a yellow and an orange flowering Mollusc Azalea. I'm in Adelaide South Australia.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

They are being grown in Australia but probably only by Victorian nurseries like Toolangi Wholesale. Perhaps you have a local nursery that deals with them. Regards Stephen

I've got my cart ready for checkout next Payday. No coffees next fortnight. ​@@thehorti-culturalists

[@kerryjean2223]

I just bought three rare plants, so sorry they didn't come from Dicksonia Rare Plants. Perhaps now I'm thinking I should have checked your website.

great point on the combination of hosta and alliums, I was not thinking of the wet/dry requirements

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching!

You really had to travel to France? We can't fly this much and hope the planet will cope. -- You cannot bring in plant material to the UK from Europe.

Get a grip - the footage is from a previous ASA tour.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

You got to see the footage and you now don’t have to go to France just like the other 18000 of my subscribers. Regards Stephen
