Our Skyscraper Lily Collection just got better!! The same incredible giant tree-lilies, but with two gorgeous new colours, this Premium Collection includes 5 spectacular varieties that are sure to make a statement in your garden. Growing so tall they look like trees, in their first year they will reach up to 1.5m (5ft) tall, but in future years once they are fully established, they will get even taller up to 6 or even 7 foot tall eventually! These large flowered beauties arise as a consequence hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet strains of lily hence the marriage of both species characteristics. Every flower carries a wonderful heady perfume and each individual stem can carry well over 20 blooms, which can measure well over 15cm (6in) across. This collection comprises of 15 top-sized bulbs, 3 of each variety, the same as used by commercial flower growers in Holland: NEW! Salterello - bright golden apricot to orange NEW! Amarossi - a lovely wine red Conca d'Or - gorgeous soft lemon yellow Robina - nice mid pink with magenta tones Matisse - cream-edged to red centres, a classic two-tone Lily Grow all 5 in large pots about 15cm apart, or in groups in garden borders. They have very strong stems, so should not need support. Cut them for the long-lasting displays in the vase, or leave them to marvel at in your garden. Allow them to die down naturally after flowering, and they will build up reserves for even bigger and better displays the following year. Fully winter hardy, they will last for many years.
Premium luxury vodkas are like snake oil: You pay more and more for a drink whose characterful marketing spiel seeks to justify a product increasingly refined into neutrality. What is interesting about Golovkine is not the 100% French wheat from Beauce, or it's five initial distillations in the Charentes region giving ever more exquisite refinement and purity but the all important and unique sixth distillation through old alembic copper stills used for Cognac. This final, inspired treatment ensures Golovkine has a depth of flavour and the merest hint of smokiness, as if tasted from warm, full Russian lips recently done sucking on a Gauloises.
A new apple launched in 2011, 'Tickled Pink' (also sold as 'Baya Marissa') is a stunning variety with sumptuously juicy red flesh with a fabulous 'old-fashioned' flavour - just like 'Rosy Apple' sweets!

From fragrant springtime blossom to juicily luscious, red-fleshed fruits each October, 'Tickled Pink' will be as happy in a pot on your patio or balcony as it will in a bed or border. Delicious straight from the tree, the exquisite apples are perfect for making refreshing red juice or baking apple pies for a taste that's simply divine. With its incredible fragrant spring blossom, richly coloured foliage and mid-October fruits, the tree itself brings season-long interest to any garden, patio or balcony. It is perfectly winter hardy and easy to grow - ideal for beginer and experienced gardeners alike.
