'Giorgio',

This site will hopefully be of some help to you, although you may have
to take a day trip to reach some of the nurseries which are shown.

I have e-mailed the author (Jim Fisher) of the site with a copy of your
request, asking if he can help, and I will forward his reply, should I
receive one.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

Giorgio, you nave no need to apologise for your English, it is one hundred
percent better than my Italian, and possibly most of the readers of this
newsgroup.

Have a nice stay in England

Hi Giorio

I don't know what type of plants the following garden centres have, but might be
both a look:
http://www.capitalgardens.co.uk/acat...n_Centres.html

This flower/plant market might be fun to visit:
http://www.columbia-flower-market.freewebspace.com/

You could of course also visit Kew Gardens:

Have a good stay :~)

I would add to this list
http://www.thepalmcentre.co.uk/

It's in Ham, near Richmond, and is absolutely stuffed with tropical
plants. I nearly bought a cycad last time but gave in to a quite
reasonably priced aspidistra, which immediately got called Uncle (If
you understand the reference, grin) and it has just grown seven new
leaves in a couple of months. At this rate I'll have to repot it this
summer. Nice, healthy plants.

They also sell mature bird of paradise (strelitzia reginae), for those
of you addicted to them :-) I spent ages looking for one a similar
size to my seed-grown one, so I could see if mine is likely to flower
this year but all theirs, even the big ones, had much narrower
leaves than mine, so I couldn't really compare :-(

There is a place in Ham called the Palm Centre. I cannot find a
direct link to a website, but this google search will give you enough
info to understand what they have to offer.

The Palm Centre is near Ham House on the Banks of the Thames and is a
nice place to visit. So thats a bonus.

Enjoy your visit.

Phil

For orchids, visit Mcbeans nursery. It is about halfway between Haywards
Heath and Lewes, in Sussex, south of London. I guess train to Haywards
Heath and taxi to Mcbeans - they have a large nursery and shop area.
Also do tours and courses. Regularly exhibit at Chelsea and win medals.

Check their website at: http://www.mcbeansorchids.co.uk/
