Hope this one shows the difference Dawn - as you can see the flowers develop from cone like buds on old wood.Think you can see leaf developing behind and above ?

:-((( Dont think I've got any flowers. There are brown husks with either a leaf coming through or a flower, just behind a small leaf, if that makes sense. I'll get John to check tomorrow. Thanks so much for taking this in your busy schedule. I'll get back to you.

Well a husk sounds hopeful Dawn esp if behind a small leaf - so fingers crossed x
Yes Amy very forward but got Jane to keep me in check lol

I hope so BB. I'll head for the bargain basement at the garden centre next time. Dont know when that will be, was still weeding at 8pm tonight, lol. I'll get John to check it out tomorrow to see what he thinks ...

Perhaps try a nursery Dawn often their specimens been out a while - rather than shipped in for the summer . Pretty chilly here today so in long before 8 ..

Ours was from a local nursery BB, family run business so I have my fingers and toes crossed. These commercial nurseries make me laugh, you see plants in flower weeks ahead of the norm,

Well done Dawn - these independent nurseries always worth supporting often better value , they have nutured the plants themselves rather than bulk purchased so having done all the right things think it owes you a few flowers dont you ? lol

I hope I get flowers BB. This nursery is surrounded by all different types of conifer that they have grown and the greenhouses are full of bedding plants and they are always happy to give sound advice and they're prices are realistic but people still seem drawn to the 'artificial' nurseries.

Think gardeners use nurseries Dawn as can sift through knowing what they are looking for . Garden centres often used by those a little less sure but reassured by the apparent quality despite the price .
