She's here!

One or two of you asked for news of my impending promotion from Grandmother to a great one.
Well, if you found that I failed to appreciate and respond to some of your kind comments last night and early this morning, you now know why.
She is called Lily Rae and was born at approximately 3 a.m. on October 24th 2010, weighing a huge 9lbs. This is my grandaughter’s first and we are all very surprised that she was so big, although Samantha could have done with my wheelbarrow to carry her tummy around in the end, so she clearly was not going to be very small.
It was not an easy birth, but both Mum and baby are doing fine now.
Wish I could share the champagne with you all. ;-))

I shall plant a fuschia for her. No, not a lily.Perhaps a Hawkshead?

Thanks Clarice, Littlelegs and Tulsalady. She is actually my Great Grandaughter so I feel very lucky as my Mother never knew any of her great grandchildren.
The photos are beginning to be scattered around on Facebook, and I would love to put one up for you Tulsalady, but am not sure that the boys would consider it legit for this site even 'though she is a little "flower". Errrrrrrrrrrrrr?
Will see what the concensus is on here before I do it.

Many congrats-- GG? how about Nerines, guernsey lilies-- saw some beauties on a recent trip to the island, grown in the ground there and in clay pots in a greenhouse the colour range was amazing --and should be in flower for your little ones birthdays

Thank you Cinderella. Lincslass and Stroller and thank you too Pamq for the Lily suggestion. I agree that it would be nice, but I tend to avoid lilies in the garden because they are poisonous to cats. Perhaps there are exceptions, but one cannot be certain. I have also avoided roses,although I would love one for her, because this garden is so prone to black spot that they end up being leafless miseries. I can control the ones at the front, but I wanted this plant to be at the back and that is where they are most affected.
I shall see what Bob Flowerdew's chive preventative idea produces next year. x

I read the other day that Colchicums are very poisnous-- arsenic I believe, hopefully animals have a knowledge of dangerous plants, horses won't eat ragwort when its growing ( too bitter ) only when its dry-- which is why it causes trouble in hay!!
my Viburnum 'dawn' shrub smells beautifully of apple blossom at the moment maybe something like that is the answer
