Thanks GM it was a wonderful display they made of them all. I was tempted to buy loads, they had the Sensitive plant that my Gran used to have and Fly traps...I will add the "purpurea" to the caption.
I can't afford to get into house plants as well!
Despite Meanie encouraging me.
I have bought a load of Blackthorn today to plant on a little patch of land at the back of my house where there is nothing but two big old wild cherries. I love the white flowers and I will hopefully get plenty of Sloes.

Pim. I purchased two Sarracenias for £1 each at our GC. they were dumped on a trolley ready for the heap I think!! Well I saved them, hope i can keep them alright. Lol.

Cor..£0.50p each...!
I know this is silly but the carnivorous ones are sort of like a bit different from plants...a bit more like us somehow. I think it is because some of them move. I hope yours pull through GM.

I hope so too Pim, its just that this will be their first winter. eek.

Did you see how I bartered the price down...And I am not Meanie.
I have put the fire on for mine GM...I am catching the bugs for it...I am gonna have one fat lazy fat ar.ed plant hanging up.

The ones I have purchased stay outside Pim!!!!! So could be disaster. I have been giving mine slugs! Great way to get rid.

Oh do they ? you should have one or two of these by every plant in the garden. It is always a worry isn't it. I was thinking being outside sounded easier somehow, as I tend to bump off house-plants quite swiftly
Poppylover gave me some good advice, it was to buy even more of them that way you don't forget them...It seems to be working so far.

Lol.... Ive just noticed that last comment Pimp!!! Did I really say that???? Doesnt sound like me!! lol

Just double checked that it was you Pop....it was...On my Q about Passion flower Constance Elliot. Works as well, I have a forest on the window sill.

Windowsill photo or painting might look good? I would love to see the first forest planted on a windowsill!!?
