Just because.

well done on your purchases sea they will look lovely when planted up by little poppet :o)))

Something good to look forward to. I hope the weather will be nice. Will Poppet help you to plant them ?

She says she will and she has claimed one of the orangy ones as a pot plant for her bedroom. Victoria likes pottering in the garden and although she had her own space she prefers to have her own pots instead.
She will often chose plants because she knows i like them so that they become mine when she has finnished with them.

Lovely hellebores, and very reasonable too!

Its good to get the youngsters interested in gardening.

My father bought me a Bellis daisy for my patch of the rock garden, when I was 8. I have never forgotten that.

Wow you got some real bargains there SBG, nice your daughters interested in gardening too, mine aren't :- ( they're at the boy stage, help !!!!!,the hellebores are gorgeous and have to admit I've never seen a danfordiae before lovely :-)

my first garden experience was a packet of virginia stock seeds. The eldest is at the boy stage but will walk round the garden and comment on anything i have done or if something is flowering. In the summer she will pick flowers for her room. in fact they both will.

You certainly have some lovely plants at a great price. Your Poppet has great taste, thats a beautiful Hellebore. :o)

Fantastic bargains - but you've said that the prices are great there. Lovely choices. :-0)

Those Iris reticulata - can't tell which they are from too far a view.

Could you maybe put the pots next to each other and take a photo? The we could see if an ID is possible!

Lovely purchases - how on earth did you manage to limit yourselves to two hellebores. Love the iris - a good job there were only two of them, eh?

the money actually in my purse and a lot of will power.
though I have just placed an order at CGF . will have to be creative with the housekeeping though.

Lots of lovely filling soups, LOL.
