Today’s post is about plant styling my newest acquisition – the luminous neon pothos. A few months ago I’d got hold of a philodendron brasil and some of the beautiful foliage was almost entirely neon coloured. It’s still one of my favourites and just knew that a neon would also be well loved in my…

This week has seen a gardening paraphernalia explosion at Flying Tiger stores as we gear up for Spring.

As you can probably tell if you have stumbled across this page, there is very little information online about this variety of Euphorbia, which is actually now believed to be extinct in the wild, though it does exist in cultivation.
