Rachel's Journal

New one on me, love the leaf.

Lovely flower and well spotted. How is your Tea plant doing Rachel? I remember you putting up a journal entry about it last year and was wondering how it was doing this year.

Unusual and nice.

New for me too, Fran.

The tea plants came indoors for winter, Liam, so they are doing well. They are between 1ft and 2ft now but no sign of flowers.

Thanks, Myrtle.

New one for me too Rachel. Have you many of them?

Oh thats lovely, both the flower and the foliage. Well done, they can be a bit difficult to get going.

Just three, Dick. Two are in flower.

I didn't know that, Margaret. Just as well I didn't know it. I might have been discouraged from trying. No sign of my Trilliums  this year. But they can grow roots the first year and not appear so maybe next year...

lovely flower. unusual foilage

Oooh my yellow one opened today.

So dainty.

My stalks are coming up - waiting waiting - my flowers are pink.  I have to say wonderful growth this year.   How are your dodecatheon seedlings doing Rachel?  I'm over the moon with mine!

Dead chuffed with my dodec seedlings too, Sally : ) Isn't growing things so fun? Also with the Pulsatilla vulgaris. I had to make two sowings for them but now I have sturdy little seedlings. I wonder will they both be confused and flower in autumn this year! Both are in the greenhouse (again) now. I brought all germinated seeds into the kitchen to keep an eye on them for a few weeks.

So lovely,and fine flower!It look like mine won't flower this year.

Your kids will be rich with all the lovely plants and seeds to come into flower.
