    @ARMANDII That picture looks as though it was depicting what happened when my sister wrote the sequel to the Owl and the Pussycat! :rolleyespink:

    Here's the relevant part :heehee:


    Pussy gobbled the mince and chewed up the quince
    And cast off the runcible spoon.
    Now she eyed up the owl, that gullible fowl,
    As they sailed by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon
    As they sailed by the light of the moon.

      Chionodoxa I planted last autumn have flowered this week. And as a bonus there are some around the garden of the new bungalow already, planted by the previous owners.:yes:

            In the greenhouse is a Jasmine that I rescued from Homebase a few weeks ago for fifty pence! Almost completely dried out most of the buds had fallen off (as you can see in the photo) but a few weeks on it has perked up and is producing new growth and flower buds................

            The greenhouse is starting to smell heavenly as well!

                  Unless your name is "M" :oops: (but that was last century and a sense that: "I've bought it, what more does it want?" attitude :redface: ) :heehee:

                  So, yes! To *me*, that is a good rescue!! (but, the cake I was going to give you in honour of your success, I'll keep to myself now ... seeing as you think it was an easy task :whistle: )

                          Pleased with this one, cost me 30p from a charity shop and never grown it before:)

                          PS.... Bought it as a small rooted cutting last summer and grown it on through the Winter.

                              A couple of quick ones from my garden this evening before the light faded.

                              Part of my 'wild' area at the bottom of the garden. Daffodils, cowslips, celandine and bluebells are all flowering now.

                              Forsythia coming into flower now, makes a pleasing combination with a Fatsia.
