Terry Wheeler & his Liverpool Garden in Dublin
This post is dedicated especially to my work colleague Terry Wheeler. All his life even since his school days Terry has been an ardent Liverpool supporter. As well as all things soccer, Terry is a dab hand at gardening. Yes sir! He told me how he designed his own garden and planted it as well. Fair play to you Terry you might yet have a future in the old horticulture department!
For any of you visiting Liverpool make sure you check out Ness Botanic Gardens located in the grounds of The Univesity of Liverpool. Here you are sure to find a great collection of plants and even some wildlife.
Eugene Greaney a friend of mine from my school days in County Kerry is also a passionate Liverpool FC fan. I remember Eugene showing me how he had completely decorated his bedroom in all things Liverpool. Terry is similar and I remember him from a few years back driving his Ford Fiesta which had its interior decked out in Liverpool flags and emblems. If anything can be said about Terry it's this, he is a mighty ambassador for Liverpool FC; may he always inspire people to support Liverpool FC.
Over the last four to five weeks Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ (male) has been displaying its dark red flower buds. These flower buds will remain over winter and in the spring will open as fragrant heads of white flowers. No berries are produced but it will pollinate female skimmias nearby. Where space permits only one plant, Skimmia ‘Robert Fortune’ produces both flowers and berries. All skimmias tolerate pollution and coastal conditions.
