I've always loved #botanicillustration. It's been a while since I got my brushes out so badly out of practise but a joy to take time out to study such a pretty hellebore flower and get to know it intimately. Thank you @macplants for the beautiful #plant ! – at Richmond, London

Autumn gentians are now in flower and The Caley is one of the very best. Bred by Iam McNaughton of Macplants. For success keep moist in the summer and grow in slightly acidic, free draining compost. @TheCaley @macplants @RHSBloom #ourbloom @ScottishRockGC #northberwick

Always exciting to see one of Ian McNaughton's Gentians. The late lamented Ian =father of @macplants Gavin, of course.

Erigeron ‘Quakeress’ - a plant I bought from @macplants - only its second year but performing well so far. Lovely lilac flowers, around 50cm in height and been flowering for weeks.
