Bad Pixi!!!!!

Lovely Pixi - shame about the rose - we went B&Q this morning - can't get any more plants though . Love Makinoi Marsha Gentian one very much - all looks very nice as always - Clematis a lovely colour too :)))))))))))

We do have to look after the pennies but you can't put a price on happiness. So enjoy, they look great.

I have 'Warsaw Nike' (pronounced:Var Sharv Ska) (Nee Ka) no I don't speak the lingo, just happened to see it on a clematis website.

Mine is one of the two I rec'd from a gardening mag offer. The other being 'The President'. Both are both still small, but should be quite spectacular next year. Fingers crossed.

After being fed false info by GRANNY D,regarding a pot sale at Homebase,earlier in the year I won't be rushing off to B&Q today.

Did buy some good value plants from Morrisons earlier in the week. I only went in for some bacon.

Funny that isn't it? Lol

Great stuff, Pixi!!
I now know that I've got Warsaw Nike, too, thank you!!!
Love the gentian!

Thanks all..lol GrannyB
Glad to be of service Karen..lol least I kept the tags this time!

B&Q defo has it's uses. I bought loads of geraniums at half price about 6 weeks ago and they are doing wonderful. Although the rain today isn't helping lol. That Makinoi is gorgeous :-)

bad stickitoffee too ~ i saw a gentian too today and had to have it!!

I always check out B+Q clearance area, last week I picked up a sad looking bamboo for next to nothing, I don't even know why it was reduced,(big plant little car -errrm but I got it home lol) and 4 little ivy plants for 20p each, they had seen better days but are all sprouting and will look lovely in window boxes next year.

Love that gentian what a beautiful colour and the clematis. Shame the rose broke off. I'd pop it in a glass of water in the house somewhere, flowers usually end up on the kitchen windowsill when that happens.

It seems were all in a plant buying mood (is anyone ever not in a plant buying mood?), I took my nan, mom, aunt and brother (god knows why he came lol, he was only bored) out today to a craft centre and ended up comming back with a pot of mint, a pot of thyme and a pot of rosemary. Very nearly picked up a rudbekia as well but it didn't look very good for the price they were asking. My aunt ended up with two heuchera's and a little alpine plant whose name escapes me. Only thing for me, now I need some more potting compost :P hmm will I resist the plants? Last time I went for compost I came back with about 40 plants but no compost lol.

where is the craft centre samjp? is it worth a visit??

Nice choice of plants Pixi, like the Warsaw Nike mine has flowered pretty well but not for as long as last year.

Thanks ScottySusan(you are Scottish?) Yeah my Geranium isnt doing too well either..damn the rain!
Lol ST we are as bad as each other eh?
That was some good bargains you got KF! :)
Thanks Sam..well unfortunately the rose broke off right at the head but I do have it floating in a glass lol..nice scent too. :)
