I might like my little experiments in the garden but these fail in comparison to some of the hybrid work that someone is performing in Brentham Garden Estate! The above seems to be a cross between about 8 different plants and a deck shoe wearing Cousin It from the Addams Family! A seriously wild hybrid. Here I am rabbiting on about three different types of hedge cuttings. Seriously I have a lot more to learn in the garden!
OK, so I am not sure if this actually is a hybrid, although I cannot confirm that it isn't, but it is indeed Jack-In-The-Green who is part of the annual Brentham May Day, that occurred on Saturday May 14th just past. It doesn't say in the description of the Brentham May Day that Jack-In-The-Green isn't a hybrid ;-).
Looking at the history of the Brentham May Day, there is also nothing there to suggest that Jack-In-The-Green is or isn't a hybrid of some description. What it does show is that Jack made a first appearance in 1919! Given his age, now 92, he is still a very spritely chap!
Below are a few more pictures from the Brentham May Day. First the head of the parade,
followed by the band,
followed by the procession,
and the return to the Brentham Club,
and the Brentham club itself,
Quite an interesting day! Especially given the hybrids on show! ;-)
Have fun,
Cheers
