Glad to hear about the toothach yesterday.

Which mail order company do you buy plants from? Just out of interest as I would like to compare it to the one I sometimes use.

Naturescape. They have a web site. They are not perfect - their list includes several plants that are not actually British natives - but they do allow me to get a lot of plants that are.

Do you know of any other good sources for native flowers? Naturescape are good in some regards, but they rarely tell you the best soil type - I have to cross-check that on the BBC gardening web site which is very informative.

No sorry I don't. That is why I was asking as I want more native flowers. I use the BBC site as well. It is great.

I choose plants there and then double check with Wikipedia to be sure they're native. (they include some like evening primrose that have been grown here a long time and have escaped into the wild. As far as I'm concerned, it's still an American plant)
