In my experience mini roses are very resistant to allsorts, but tend to weaken off after a few years, and get spindly and unattractive.You...
There's a lot of differing opportuniies for creatures to live in rotting trunks that remain upright rather than laying down, not least...
Not me, I like to learn..keep it coming HB! [img]
Maybe they could apply the same reasoning to their countless employees? No I do not mean that. [img]
