    About the one thing I can grow successfully is nasturtiums as they thrive on neglect. They don't like good soil as they will give you lots of leaves and hardly any flowers, especially if they are fed and nurtured, so I can grow them for Britain (or France). If only all plants liked to be neglected I would be a proper green fingers .................

    What lovely plants Elainefiz - I hope you saved some of that Lavender to put in your drawers :D

    And, why is it that Crocosmia always grows like that? All the flowers around the edge and nought in the middle :confused: Mine is exactly the same.

    My Gerberas which were bought when Puschka (white female cat died December 2005) we bought three of these for her from Sis. Beautiful flowers for a beautiful cat, but they are having a rest here now in the heat.

    Thanks for the memories, dearest! [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Encore WOO - although one of mine has a hole in it. Still, it wouldn't be mine if it was perfect [​IMG]

    I'm just waiting for some mystery plants to bloom - should be in a day or so. As usual, donated plants with no names so I'll be needing some identifications - again !
