Look what I got............

21 comments


Opened the door to a very nice man, yes a very nice man with three big boxes……..


And he drew my attention to the label on the boxes……..


And ten minutes later,after much cutting and pulling and pushing (they were very well wrapped), this is what I got!!


Two ginger lilies and a jelly palm all to go in our new jungle area next year.
( No they did not arrive in these pots, would have cost me an arm and a leg!!)
Just a few more exotics to keep inside with the bananas……….will soon need a machete to get outside the door!!

They look wonderful is nt it a nice feeling when your plants arrive. What celebrities will you have in your jungle lol they might never get out by the sounds of it .

I never get packages that exciting!! They're going to look fab in your jungle.

Gee as soon as we think the weather is safe from a late frost the ginges will go in the garden, the palm will go outside in the pot until he is older!!
M they were in excellent condition bought them at end of season sale!! I dont want any celebrities in they are more trouble than their worth( far too many demands)!!!
Louise and Fluff thanks, I dont usually get parcels this exciting either......

What a fantastic way to start the day ... ring ... ring ... "Ah Mr Postman!, Parcels for me? Oh, you are such a kind man!" "Can't wait to see what's in them!" "Oh, how wonderful! ... 2 Ginger lilies & a Jelly Palm!" "Must get them potted up straight away!"

My idea of starting the perfect day as well! :-D LOL!
