    I ordered this Climbing Rose "Bathsheba" on Sunday night and it arrived today at 9a.m.

    upload_2020-1-21_21-59-39.png

    It's going to be planted in front of my Lilac "Madame Lemoine" so that it can climb up it and provide colour when the Lilac is not in flower.

      I just received my zinnia,atlasa carrot and cyperus papyrus seeds.

      On the papyrus packet
      "Look closely. Seed like dust."

      Too much fun!

                Tropicana Canna - good for zones 8-10 … so I'll have to figure out how to overwinter it. :)

                    In the UK there are plenty who dig them up and put them in their attic space. Not sure if this would be too cold in your winters.

                      Our attics have a fair amount of insulation in the "floor" area so the air up there is almost as cold as outside but thank you for the suggestion @andrews :) If I came into money, that space would be converted to a livable space with skylights for plants to enjoy. Ah, the daydreams...

                        I guess in the UK it would go down to -1 degree C (ish).

                        We have no attic space (vaulted ceilings) - think I may have a bit of explaining to do if I brought cannas into the bedroom so mine stay in pots, fairly dry in the polytunnel which I keep above 3 degrees

                          @andrews I remember the temperature going down to -40c one winter and -1c is considered extremely mild for our winters. I'll find a spot to bring it indoors to overwinter. My biggest worry with bringing things in is also toting in the insects that live there too. :doh:
