starting a flower busness

Tried to take a photo of a rose bush in full flower in the car park at work. But my camera told me the card was locked. Didn’t even know you could lock them but now I do, its a little slide on the side. You live and learn!
Gave up with the internet plants. They look so great in the catalogs but arrive at the end of may the size of new penny pieces. The ones that arrived 3 weeks ago might be ready for the garden in another month but there is a wedding going on tomorrow and Sunday so tony wanted the flower beds filled up.
So putting it down to experience went out and bought £130 plants out of my own money (they still hadn’t sent the receipt for the accountant!)
So am now the owner of 10 flower pouches, 300 busy lizzy’s, 40 begonia bulbs, 120 geranium plants!
Woke this morning dreaming of a garden blanketed with color. Or think I might be starting a flower stall……….
All in all I’m pleased with the way the works garden are shaping up.
Cant wait till the sweet peas and tree lily’s start to show themselves. But even the blue iris’s I thought just didn’t flower have developed flower buds. Just need to find some patience.

I'm glad you were able to sort the flowers out but it did cost a lot of money. You're going to have a colourful garden later on aswell when the others come into bloom

Yes Hywell, but I did get a result the company sent me some vouchers. So I'm going to treat myself to a fig tree! with the global warming and all!
Thinking of taking the excess plants round to Stephens school. They have a gardening club and some very overgrown flowerbeds outside the classrooms.
