Hi I am R.L.(Bill) Robottom and welcome to my website
I am a former nurseryman of fifty years experience where I grew begonias and a large collection of pot plants.
Later pot plants gave way to Dahlias, Lilies, Calla Lilies, Daffodils, a few Gladioli and a few other bulbs
Payments can be made by online banking (See Terms of Trade and Ordering) State Begonias, Books etc. or by cheque to R.L.Robottom. Payments with order or by arrangement, please ask. Thank you.
Owing to health I no longer grow dahlias. My nephew Alan Littlejohn will also no longer be growing dahlias But my grandaughter Susan is still hoping to grow plants. But that may be a few years away. We will keep you informed.
This category contains books I am selling. I have written and published them myself owing to my age and the time it would take to get them published. I also found it very difficult for anyone other than well known authors to get a book published. Also The books to you are much cheaper. I am interested that you read my books; not make huge profits. I get very good comments for my books.
All books have been edited, but I have noted mistakes since printing and not sure why. So I intend to sell them as cheap as I can. Most mistakes are only minor and will make little difference.
So buy now as the seconded editions will cost you more.
This Category contains original Art I am selling
Sorry owing certain circumstances I am taking my art off the market. Cards and prints will be the same.
Greeting Cards I am selling. The Begonias are all begonias I have bred, but none are available now. The art cards are of the art on this website and all painted by me
Art Prints I am selling. More art will be added soon. I may consider art by other people. There may be a delay of two or three weeks, depending on stock.
This category contains a new strain of Begonias I am breeding. The picture desplayed on shop front is "White Palace" also Gold Plate and are a likeness to those I will breed with some varing a little. It will be a year or two before they will be available. I may have a few available Feb/March/April 2012.
A few samples of my writings. I have a number of essays and works that I will make available for a small charge if interested. I have added a few poems as well.
The search for truth is paramount to me.
Bill.
