Today was the last day of the RHS London plant show, and I was impressed coming away with a good plant haul. It was a lot of the usual stands but in general the show was well laid out between the two halls with some good quality displays.

| Rudbeckia 'little henry' |
After not buying any plants for ages, the plant buying juices were flowing strongly. Mainly I seemed to be attracted to unusual edible plants buying a wasabi, edible ginger (zingiber mioga), black raspberry and seeds of Tamarillo and Achocha vine

| Coming right Achocha...a new one to me, an annual vine growing to 5-6m with these odd fruits which can be eaten raw, stuffed or stir fried |
I also was rather enamoured with this Tierella 'Emerald Ellie' which I think will look rather exotic when it bulks out a bit. As usually I was drawn to the Polypody ferns, and as usual when I found one I liked I had no idea if I had already bought one.

I was also enamoured by a Petrocosmea, which was new to me but wonderfully exotic looking, and as a I have a new office with space for plants I can grow more houseplants, yay!
Then in terms of other things which caught my eye....
A fabulously coloured Dahlia, nice leaved Rubus and rather erect grass
