Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea

Quick blip, taking 5 minutes in the garden before badminton (It'll be hot and sweaty tonight).

This was one of the first plants we ever bought for our first garden, now more than 25 years ago. As such it was probably the longest latin phrase I had ever spoken.

Wonderful day's weather in the Midlands, now just hoping it will last to the weekend so we can enjoy it properly. I hope you are all enjoying the same conditions, particularly Jillymint, who is at the Chelsea Flower Show today.
