Plant Badges Growing in Your Garden

Rex,

Thank you for your very informative and quite helpful response, it is much appreciated Rex. I shall look into the red whortleberry situation and will definitely keep you abreast of what the results are. Cluny is indeed such a wonderful and considerate Highland Chief and is loved dearly. I am eager to meet with him, his son Jamie, and family again soon in August. Hopefully, God willing, you and I will have a chance to chat over a proper drink as well. I shall continue to stay in touch with you.

Cheers my friend,

And Kyle, if you get a red whortleberry planted in your garden, then please be sure to post a photo or two here!

Cheers!

Below is a photo of me wearing a few sprigs of boxwood in my bonnet at a local Highland games this past October. Boxwood is another plant badge, besides white heather and red whortleberry, of the Clan Macpherson - also, there are other Clan Chattan clans and families who choose to wear boxwood as their plant badge.

Looking good there Kyle!
I love the examples you've shared.

Along with my white winter heather, I had planted a summer variety (so I'd have constant blooming/colour). Unfortunately we had an unusually drier/warmer summer than usual and despite my best efforts I ended up losing both
The longer established winter variety (shown at the start of this thread) survived in fine style.

I think I'll try again in the Spring (this time), and give them a fighting chance.
