Photinia Fraseri Little Red Robin

Photinia Fraseri Little Red Robin, I planted the standard form of this delightful plant in Robert and Dawns garden two years ago
I help out in their Aberdeen garden, giving advice and a little practical help. We live at the very edge of the city beside the River Dee and in Winter the frost is more severe than the west end location of Robert and Dawns. I will post pictures of their garden from time to time as they would be the first to admit to quite a transformation since I started to help out along with Myra.
Fraseri is a dwarf form of Red Robin, not simply shorter but the leaves are also smaller giving an in proportion look to the plant.
The young foliage in Spring is a perfect deep shade of red, not garish at all, developing in mid summer to glossy green. Well so they say, the standard specimen which I planted retains a lot of the red hue also in Summer, Autumn and Winter, in a very healthy looking manner.
In our own garden we have tried the original Photinia Red Robin, which always looked like it was struggling to get through the Winter, it did survive but I think it would do a little better in our woodland area.
The dwarf form Fraseri in the bush form grows to a height of just one metre. Pruning throughout the growing season will encourage the growth of fresh young red leaves. In the North east plant in a sunny sheltered spot where it has some protection from cold winds. Ensure that the soil is free draining.

In a Vase on Monday: Red It
For the last few days I have been envisagingthe creation of a vase of red blooms for today, which we duly have, although I am far from satisfied with the end result. Sadly, there weren’t as many of the small decorative Dahlia ‘William Kent’ fully open as I would have liked, and seeing the photographs I regret not cutting the stems shorter, to allow the blooms to hug the rim of the vase more. But at least it is a bountiful vase of red blooms, which was my overall aim, so that’s a positive!

Little Tikes Playhouse Makeover
One day I was browsing Pinterest and came across playhouse makeover ideas. After seeing the inspiration I decided I just had to do my own makeover for my daughter’s birthday gift while she is still little. So I immediately browsed second-hand sites and found the perfect plastic playhouse for £25. We got it home, I cleaned it up and painted it and I am so in love with the transformation!

In a Vase on Monday: Three Little Maids
When I popped blooms into the test tubes of one of the stands we had for sale today at our open garden, it made me think straight away of ‘three little maids from school’. The original picking was of three different calendula – Indian Prince, Sunset Buff and Snow Princess – but the latter two were looking a little fraught after a day in the sun, so for my IAVOM contribution I replaced them with more Indian Princes, in a move that made me think of some oriental magic show, transforming Indian princes into schoolgirls (or maybe it is the other way round?). The schoolgirls are certainly of the undisciplined sort, refusing to stand up straight and smile for the camera.
