Pot of Violas again....

Fantastic, aren't they? I had to check that there actually is snow on your lawn!

...none of the ones I planted in the ground are flowering, so it just shows that it's best to keep these in a container for winter flowers.

lol..yup, just that tiny bit, but the forecast is awful for the next two days Melchi, so watch this space!

looking great Karen

That's interesting, Karen - the only violas I've got flowering are in pots, too, yet you'd think they'd be happier in the ground. Perhaps that's why they're flowering, though. I've still got bacopa flowering in a half-basket on the front wall of the house.

Lucky you! mine look very sorry for themselves, so much so I've decided not to get them again as this is the second winter they've not done much.

Put them somewhere safe from the snow so that they can continue to make you smile.

This is so pretty...

Beautiful arrangement, everything, not just flowers :))

Ah, thanks everyone! I'll try to rescue them Linda...if I remember!

What a lovely sight in this weather...

very pretty, :O)

One of my garden tables is like yours but how do you keep it so clean Karen?

Well, it's fairly new, only about 2 years old...but I don't keep it clean....I only give it a sweep about twice a year. Some of the tiles are coming loose with frost damage sad to say :(

Mine is also about 2 years old but it gets very dirty and turns green. Tried soda Bicarb which helps but its not that great to look at.

mmm....why don't you try a bleach solution Drc...that's what I would try if I were you......the one you use on your bathroom grouting might do the job :)

Thanks Karen will give it a go in the spring.

Amazing little plants, and such a welcome sight at this time of the year.....how is your weather K?

Very windy A, with horizontal sleet, but no snow. Horrible!

Same here, very cold and now back to tremendous rain.....

Yes, we are very very soggy already and they are threatening more precipitation ......the worms must all be drowned by now :(

They would make me smile to they are so pretty :o))

At the time I felt very guilty for spending a tender on them........now I think it was one of my better decisions! :)
