The most beautiful flower I have ever laid eyes on :O)

Lovely misscupcake:)

Thanks Nana D :O)

Your mum has good taste, that gladioli is gorgeous, I love the way you think about it representing your summer calendar and sincerely hope your mums treatment is as successful. I personally would lift them when they finish and store them in the shed over the winter.
You have every right to be excited with your bargains, I really like the flowerpotman and the toadstools.
A lovely blog and pics, best wishes to you and your Mum for the future...

Thanks for the lovely reply Linclass and also for the very helpful advice. I will certainly lift them. I too love my little flowerpot man and toadstools, it's always the little bargains that end up meaning the most to you isn't it?! Best wishes to you also :O)

Be careful with that greenhouse ! Place it in a sheltered spot, the strong winds here tore mine. I have seen one against a wall in a driveway, no trouble at all. Also it comes apart very easily. I put it in the shed and use it as shelves, to store my onion crop. Will try some super glue on the connections this year. Good luck with the health problem, concentrate on the garden problems !

What great bargains Misscupcake. I bought a double Anenomes last week which was the same lovely deep pink.
I like the Geranium. It would be a good match...what is it called?

You are lucky to get the geranium in flower at this time of year. I dont expect any more flowers on mine till next year. And I like your new Japanese anemone. I can only get that one to grow not much taller than the one in your picture. Perhaps you have greener fingers than me and will get it to grow on well.

Wow you have been busy, lots of bargains there. Love the flowerpot man by the way.

Love the gladioli its absolutely beautiful. Hope your mums treatment went well and is at an end now.

Enjoy planting all those bulbs and plants. Where did you find those Tulips they look as though they will be lovely.

just hevenly cupcake , well dun !!

Hey DB that is a lesson I have learnt well and truly. I put a pop up greenhouse on my drive next to the garage and it got completely destroyed. This one is very sturdy but would still be blown everywhere so I am going to place it behind the picnic table against a wall behind a hedge................fingers crossed :O)

Oooo Linda you're Aneome sounds lovely where did you get it from? The Geranium at the top, the blue one is hybrid Johnsons Blue and the one underneath was from the lovely Inverglen and is (I think) Ingwersen's variety..........am I right David?

David I hope I get it to come along nicely, I drive past a house with the most amazing aneomes so big and tall I would love them in my garden. I seem to be lucky with my geraniums and aquilegias too they are giving me lot's of flowers which is nice..............I feel like I am doing something right and keeping them happy :O)

Thanks Sam I love him too he's so cute. The Tulips are from Morrisons I think they are the Sherbet or Sorbet mix. I got some lovely ones from Sainsbury's also. Thanks for asking after Mum she is doing great. She has just 4 treatments left now and then please god she is all done :O)

Thanks Cristina but it's not a patch on your garden. I can't believe your garden hasn't been going for about 10 years it looks so mature............how did you do it?

Oh I am sorry to hear your mother needed that treatment, and I'm pleased it has come to an end now. I hope she's benefitted from it.
The Gladioli are beautiful, and I like your other purchases aswell :o) That Cistus is pretty. I've got one the same and it has loads of flowers every year.
I never pull my Gladioli up in winter, and they come back every year.

Aw thanks Hywel. Hopefully this is it now and it's soon to be all behind us. I think that I'll leave a couple in and if they seem happy I'll leave them in, in future. I never lift my daffs and they're the biggest on the street!

Mum bought me the Cistus I can't to plant it :O)

wen you ever passing call round ................. have a look hun .

Aw thanks Cristina I sure will :O)

;0)))))000000

The end of treatments is in sight then. Hope the last few go well and your mum can put it all behind her and concentrate on having fun.

Ohh I see a trip to Morrisons in my future :) popped into Wilkinsons yesterday and ended up comming home with a pack of plant markers, pack of plant ties and 3 packs of seeds for less than £2 - They have up to 75% off most of there gardening things at the moment :))))
