An Easter miracle!

Around 8 weeks ago I dug over and weeded part of a border and replanted 3 small roses there. Last year I had planted a lupin there but it got munched and died.
Usually, I put everything in the brown bin but I was feeling lazy this day so just chucked stuff in our wheelbarrow/housemate's car parts bin. Then today, I found this! Behold, he has arisen!

Lupin Christ has now been potted up and placed safely in the greenhouse.
Best part is, I was worried about telling OH's nan (who bought it for me) what had happened, and had even seed grown a replacement/imposter...

 

Lupins are quite tough as you've discovered Charlie and even when they lose their foliage quite often the roots survive.
