                I just can't help myself. The Hibiscus mutabilus (Confederate Rose) rooting arrived Friday (two instead of one) so I planted them in small terracitta pots. So yesterday I ordered two unrooted cuttings (a brave risk for me) of Hibiscus schizapelatus ...

                ... and a rooted cutting of Hibiscus megapotanicum, which I had many years ago and lost) possibly for a hanging basket ...

                  The two above arrived safely , have the Hibiscus schizapelatus rooting in water and have planted the Hibiscus megapotanicum. The Hibiscus mutabilus (Confederate Rose) are doing well. On Monday I ordered a Begonia rex Maui Mist/Merry Christmas small plant from Spain. It arrived safely on Thursday and is reviving from its boxed journey ...

                        Haven't got a hydrangea in the garden. Saw this beauty in the 'final reductions' section after finishing brunch at the local garden centre - £15.

                          Lovely. I have never seen a red one.

                          I ordered this baby Adenium obesum from The Canary Islands well, I think it is this actual one but we'll see ...

                            Oh dear, I need saving from myself. I have ordered two more Adenium from my Supplier in Spain who has more available and the following from who I think is her partner., who I have bought from also. I had heard of this but have never seen it for sale before today.
