A really lovely photo, @Kate Flynn, and an excellent demonstration that every stage of a plant's life can be beautiful. :blue thumb:
True, @Fat Controller! :biggrin: People just love to buy stuff, I guess, though I would be willing to bet metre high plastic bunnies will not...
You know you have successfully overwintered a lobelia outside when it opens up its first flower. Chuffed! :hapydancsmil:[ATTACH]
No income tax is an extremely bad development for 95% of the population ... and an absolutely wonderful one for the other 5%. And, very...
