    Found these two this morning in the cemetery, they were dumped in the bin, but I thought worth saving.
    A Cyclamen that probably wont look much now till next Autumn.
    And a Heuchera which will probably look good in a few months time.

    I think anyone looking for a few pot plants, or even garden plants should have a wander round a cemetary, its amazing what gets chucked away.

      Those both look like nice well-grown plants - I'm glad you can give them a new lease of life!

        Just so long as the recycling isn't misconstrued as 'pre-recycling' by the local Neighbourhood Watch ;):biggrin:

          There's a cemetary 5 mins walk from me. I might try that myself.

              I was going to title this thread, Back from the Dead, but thought that sounded a bit gruesome.

                  @pete it never ceases to amaze me what plants get dumped on the compost in our cemetery too. Can’t understand it myself, but there we are.. :scratch: :doh:
