Tesco, in their infinite wisdom, have stopped giving green points for everything but aluminium cans at their recycling points, and Hounslow Council removed the recycling station at Homebase at Gillette Corner because of fly-tipping (thus causing fly-tipping at Tesco and at the Brentford recycling station). So Hubster and I decided to masquerade as Ealing residents (the next-door borough) and visit their local tip to dispose of our plastics, en route to the cinema.
As I was sitting in the queue waiting for a parking space, I noticed that all along the fence, the staff had planted completely random plants. I assumed that they had been chucked out by people who didn't want them, rescued by the staff and planted to try and make the place look a little less tip-like.
I was driving, so not really in a position to take lots of photographs, but I did manage to snap this one, which caught my eye:
Aloe striatula? It looks exactly like three pups I was handed by a fellow HTUK member a year ago. Amazing what people throw out. There were some purple Zantedeschia and any number of Hebe (a plant I only like in the hope that someone will discover a new species and call it H. jebe).
