Surfinias


Surfinias

Just bought these today, dashing into the nursery between showers. I have removed the hangers for now, and put them on the wall near where we have the table, because they smell lovely. Knowing me, they will be moved around fairly regularly!

Thanks Barbara and Kath! There were lots of these pots at the nursery - the scent was really lovely. I am hoping they will keep going for a while. The pots are good, too, aren't they?

They're lovely. I didn't know that surfinias were scented.

Yes - they are striking, aren't they, Hywel, and I think the pots set them off rather well. The pots are plastic, but i like the shape of them.

Only the purple ones, I think. The dark purples are the best - they smell a bit like lilies. I couldn't find any of those today, but these are almost as strong. Ordinary petunias have the same scent, but again - only the purple ones.

I've been really self-indulgent today. I had some tokens as a gift, and I went back and bought four more of these baskets, so now they're all along the wall. I am rather thrilled with them!

Oh how nice, they will look amazing along that wall. Great idea, self indulgent is good!!!

Thanks, Barbara. I got quite a buzz buying them!

A good idea and beautiful blue colours.

Thanks Katarina. The blue has faded a bit in the sun, but they still look nice and I hope to replant them for a few more seasons yet.
