It's more than nice Sue; it is very pretty... . a bit like Meanie's butterfly bush flowers but looks much daintier.........It is sweet....I am lost for words.!
Are you selling too? You should if you are not.

It's almost a song title too ... The Eagles 'Pretty Maids all in a row'! ... sorry ... I digress sometimes ... lol!

28 Sep, 2011

 

Lol....Shirley...
The first bloom of the the second line has opened this morning...and with this gorgeous weather, they'll be opening all week...
I don't sell plants Vav, I used to grow an awful lot for my Customers, but it's only this year i've been able to get into this gardening lark properly...lol...:)))

Very pretty and doing so well.

You will improve Sue; it will be more than a lark..it could turn out to be a gold mine. More than plants, packeting seeds might work. Out here bees and butterflies which help to pollinate are a rare sight now. Too many insectidices have finsihed them I think. (Idea.....)Maybe I will start packeting ixora seeds....but then, what about the bul buls? Just joking what can you do with a handful of seeds.....I can send you some Maidenhair spores..if you have not bought a plant yet..

29 Sep, 2011

 

Hi DD...They are doing good, and I can see them from the Garden door, so I've got a birds eye view...:)))

You are funny...:))) I haven't bought a Maidenhair Fern yet, forgot all about it...tbh...

29 Sep, 2011

 

I was joking about my Ixora seeds Sue but not about what you can do. Maidenhair and most other ferns grow from minute spores that are found under the edge of the leaves. Wen they find a spot with enough moisture tiny plants start to grow mostly on moss or cracks between stones etc.

29 Sep, 2011
