Just thought I would show you my very unexpected present from OH last year, not the sort of thing he does, we’ve never brought each other presents.
If we wont something we go out and buy it when we need it, mind you he did buy me the biggest bouquet of flowers when I was in hospital along time ago.
The story being we were in a GC and this one was being sold off half price, at the time it only had one flower on and looked very sorry for it’s self so OH went and brought it for me. I came home and re potted gave it a fed and this is what it has produced after a lot of TLC. Hopefully I’ve shown you through the stages of it growing.
