My sister and me set off this morning for Hillsboro flower show…we had a great day….ate more than we should have and bought more than we should have…I bought a rudbeckia “green wizard” and 3 meconopsis x “sheldonii” a good sized Lupin “chandelier” a lovely yellow and another red Geum, where im going to put them god alone knows…..I had better get them into the ground before my husband Gerry sees another row of pots….He is in Zurich at the moment taking part in a “half iron man” Cycle, run and swim….for a 55 year old he is very fit and informed me by telephone earlier today that he successfully completed the course….he will be home tomorrow…..if he is fit to walk….lol………..ps. better get planting…:>)..
