I had this sort of thing in mind Michaella for your flowerbed along side the path ~ would Brandon be interested in this sort of plant?
18 May, 2012
aww Stickitoffee, to be honest.... Brandon says yes and likes anything and everything, he is so easy to please :)))
By the way, the builder gave us the all clear to use the path this afternoon after school, he was very excited to give it a go, off he went pushing himself from the front of the house to the back onto the path to his very own garden, aww the smile on his face... the tears in my eyes, just awesome!

if you could maybe shorten your name for it stevie i might remember that better but a 30 letter name is quite hard!!!
18 May, 2012

18 May, 2012

18 May, 2012

18 May, 2012

18 May, 2012
maybe a different profile on Goy? it's always handy, lol
18 May, 2012

18 May, 2012
or a band name. But what exactly a 'duffer' stands for. The translation in my dictionary is bit confusing, lol
18 May, 2012
it means not knowing much!!!!

a welsh man and his english wife decided to experiment in the bedroom, the wife says, ''dear I think I should have a safe word in case I want to stop'' - ''ok dear here's your word - ''Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch''
18 May, 2012
:-) thank you Sticki - those dictionaries can't cope with everyday slang, lol
18 May, 2012
ouch Stevie - tried to pronounce it - but 4 'l's in the middle looks like too much to me, lol
18 May, 2012

18 May, 2012
I do love it!
Just ordered some Arisaema seeds.
19 May, 2012
Good plan meanie,
Do you think the urn shaped part will open up more?
19 May, 2012
That's probably as far as the spathe will go.............
19 May, 2012
oh thats a shame i wanted it to do similar to the one plantaholic put on recently.

19 May, 2012
thanks yorks, i liked it cos it was different, it intrigues me
19 May, 2012

19 May, 2012
its not a good photo but i think the cone shaped dark part is the flower
19 May, 2012
I wondered about that cone thingy thats why I asked if it would flower
19 May, 2012
might have to try to get another photo from a different angle!
19 May, 2012
well give it time and see if its a flower, will be great if it is,
19 May, 2012

19 May, 2012
no I did'nt see that
19 May, 2012

19 May, 2012
lol@ Stevie! yes ST I cant type on the laptop at all ..but then you already know this ! lol
19 May, 2012
i often do those mistakes too pix!!
19 May, 2012
yorks mine isnt the same but i loved that one plantaholic has

"I wondered about that cone thingy thats why I asked if it would flower"
The cone thingy is the spathe. This surrounds the spadix. The flowers form on the spadix and are insignificant.
19 May, 2012
thanks meanie, im quite happy with it as it is, even though i was hoping the top of the spathe would open up a little more.

Saw this here last night - never seen it before - went to NGS open gardens in Crabtree Lane, Burscough today and there it was! Weird. Incidentally, the gardens were inspiring.
20 May, 2012
i like it tuesday!
have you got any pictures of the gardens ~ please?
20 May, 2012
Still haven't mastered the pictures, Sticki. Sorry. getting new phone with better camera, here's hoping!
26 May, 2012
I don't use my mobile much for pictures but it will upload them, just have to plug into the computer.
Some of the new phones are brilliant with pictures!
