    Oxalis "Iron Cross "
    I shall have loads of corms in the Autumn. I'll put an advert in the Swaps/Freebies thread. Happy to give them away,
    Jenny

      My sister has finally moved house today and we were talking about the Owl and the Oxalis when she reminded me that I'd bought her the Owl and the Oxalis many years ago.........I'd totally forgotten that.:scratch::dunno: So I guess both have "boomeranged" on me:snork: I will have a look on Sunday for a higher plinth on which to perch the Owl.:coffee:

        I hope he will be able to rise to a "Photoshoot" soon after,

          From a mouse's point of view seeing an owl would be bad luck.

            As soon as I find a taller plinth, Jenny, I will show him watching the world go by in the garden on his new place.:snork:

            “A OWL!”




            As Zigs isn’t around I’ve been delegated with providing the obligatory standard response to any GC Owl related thread.

              Well Ziggy is a very generous chap as you know Armandii, and always responds well to compliments :fishing:


              By the way I think we left Ziggy in the bar last night, I haven't seen him for a while.

              No, he's drinking in a different pub for this week while having a well deserved break with his daughter, Willow, in Cornwall. But since he owes me several rounds you've got fat chance of squeezing a drink out of him, JWK.:snork:
