Wallflowers for me please. They used to sell young plants in bunches, wrapped in newspaper in local shops. Haven't seen them like that for years. Must remember to sow some next year.

I fancy a Walnut tree.

I'd like a mature wisteria, and something suitable to grow it up. Mum had one growing up her cottage but the roots were so invasive they got inside and were travelling under the floorboards. It was very lovely but like the magnolia (one for the letter M) the frost got it more often than not.

Only recently discovered these. Definitely been added to my plant list.I've grown these before SC and far be it from me to put you off, but I found them tasteless. They also belong to the nightshade family along with tomato's and peppers but look too much like the 'deadly' variety for me to enjoy eating them. A novelty I grew one year only then gave up on.

I had to search on Bing to find something beginning with X
Spotted some Xeranthemum annuum on Chiltern seeds very pretty papery flowers.
