Penstemon

You've reminded me I planted a white one in the Spring (somewhere!). Can't find a sign of it at the moment. Yours is lovely - very fresh.

Can anyone else see the little face?

Thanks Anget - I'm sure yours will pop up soon!

Julia, I never spotted that until you did - well done!

Lovely...and yes,I can see the little face :o)

Thanks Sandra, not bad for a 'cheapie' supermarket plant!

Not bad at all Shirley.. We always seem to be able to hunt them down .:o) xx

I alway think they look like little monkey faces. As for 'cheapies' I don't usually notice them until the shelf is empty! :-((

A shame you can't come with with either myself or Shirley,Julia.I'm sure we could help you find some :o)x

A pretty one and yes!! the little face - spotted!
The supermarkets do sometimes have hidden gems.

I'm sure you would Sandra. I always seem to do better with my shopping when I'm with you lol! ;-))

That was a good find.

This morning I was appalled to see the totally dead/dying plants on the trollies within the supermarket. They looked poorly on Friday and clearly have had no water since then (now Tuesday). I just think it's so wasteful when tomato plants/salad leaves/fruit and flowering plants will simply be thrown away.

I quite agree with you Shirley. I noticed almost a whole trolly full of bedding plants this morning absolutely gasping for water. So sad.

It's shocking Julia and I think that if the plants can't be watered outdoors, then why bother even having them for sale?

The thing is these supermarkets etc make such huge profits that they aren't bothered.

So true . . . :o(

Beautiful flowers! 👍😃

I bought 6 tuberous Begonias, because I felt sorry for them. They were bone dry. Now they have been watered & planted, they have perked up & showing signs of flowers.
(£2. 50). Less than half price. Trays & trays of bedding plants at Homebase, all going cheap. They must have bought in heaps too many.

Glad you like them David . . . :o)

Josie, I always think of all the schools, day centres, care homes etc. that could make such good use of these neglected plants. Just a bit of TLC, as you have shown with your Begonias!
