This is my latest purchase!

 

Did my Spring jaunt to the Garden Center ...

The main purchases were the Standard Red Hibiscus, the large Pelargonium. the Lotus Vine and the Lipstick Vine. Lesser items were two Geraniums, two Kalanchoes. two Verbenas, three Grasses and six Portulacas, Also nine Terracotta pots.












The Lipstick Vine has been hung up on the Baffa North side (I have one on the North side of The Jungle Room). The Lotus Vine found a home on the Chimimea in The Courtyard ...

I shall find homes for the rest a bit later.

 

Some great purchases, @Victoria

 

Thank you Balc. We are very pleased. I wanted aoother Mandevilla but it is not time for them yet.

 

Wow!! Vicky!!
What a great trolley load!!

 

TWO trolleys Upsy! An early-ish birthday.

 

Yesterday I went with my son in his car to Lild's where I got some packets of seeds - 1 of garden Carnations & the other of Cosmos. Our granddaughter came along too. She saw me looking at packets of seeds & started getting them out & showing me them. When she showed me the carnation seeds I said OK we'll buy those for Nanny as they're her favourite flowers. Later when I had nearly finished I saw some more seeds & stopped to look through them. Again she showed me different packets & then I asked her if she could find some Cosmos seeds. She found them before I did & she found another packet of Carnation seeds. We thought they were different so we put them in the trolley. At the checkout I found that both Carnation seeds were the same so I asked her to put one back where we had got them from. By the time she came back I was starting to put the things back into the trolley & didn't realize we now had only the Carnation seeds till I got home & we put everything away in the fridges & cupboards. When I looked at the ticket I saw that I had only paid for the Carnation seeds - she'd put the other packet back as I asked her to - but she'd also put the Cosmos seeds back as well!

My old ones had accidentality stayed outside all winter & were all rusted up! They were a bit blunt as well so these will do nicely.
