I fell in beloved with two plants I ’d never seen before when I was atLongwood Gardenslast week . Unfortunately , neither was labeled . surely , I could email Longwood to beg for IDs , but I think I ’d ask our loyal GPOD readers first ! After all , those Longwood gardeners are passing meddling lacrimation at the moment . It ’s blistering down there !
The first is an intriguingly architectural succulent in the student exhibition garden . The second , in a container in the melodic theme garden , await vaguely like an oxalis , but I do n’t think that ’s quite it . Whatever it is , it ’s a stripey masterpiece !
