    Following on from the Favourite plants in your garden here we list the ones we really like but don't have. For starters I'll go for Heuchera,especially the red ones. They look so good when planted en masse.
    And of course i've always wanted a Hydrangea but never had one! For climbers i want Clematis tangutica. Has small yellow scented flowers.
    A shrub I really really want is a Witch Hazel(Hamamelis). They flower in winter and the fragrance is said to be a knockout but i've never even seen one. But I just love winter flowering plants,especially if they're scented.

    I only have 2 maybe 3 must have plants right now. The first is a Forsythia, one of the smaller ones. I also like Irises. I'm currently looking for 'Starship Enterprise' and 'Let's Dance'. Any other bi-colors will do though. Marg

    Embothrium coccineum - Wow!
    Podocarpus henkelii - Wow!
    Tricyrtis - Wow!

    If you've not seen them before, I'd recommend checking them out. I've seen them all but haven't yet got them in my garden either.
