GARDEN/TV: Dr Roderick Woods & Pink Hibiscus

Dr Wood with one of his own varieties.

Learned about this chap, Dr Wood, on Gardener’s World this morning. A guy living in Norfolk. And a man obsessed. I have to say, I really dig what he’s done/is doing.

The ones shown above would be lovely. But he suggests they’re quite fussy, soil-wise. And we’re not great gardeners. So I’ll have to see if we’re up to it.

His story about the pink hibiscus he spots in a French hedgerow, and his subsequent quest to first find (no luck), and then create (a proper odyssey!) them, is great.

Passion and inspiration, in the quest for beauty and perfection? Wonderful.
