marigolds in december.....

lovely and bright on this winters day,, happy christmas sandra xx

thanks San.......happy christmas to u toooo...xxxx

That's wonderful. Brightens up the day :o)

Lucky you Sandra...we cannot even see our plants ! Hidden under a blanket of snow ! Lol

no snow here...;-(( and it certainly brightened up my day when i found them...

Getting a bit much here as driving conditions on side roads quite hazardous !

my sympathys are with u Bonkersbon. we dont get it here very often so it exciting to think we might. i was out driving today , it was very slippery in places. i could see snow on the Presseli mountains in the distance.

None here either but some in Morriston about 20 miles away.

Sandra:

It looks great! I hope it makes it through winter for you! : > )

Delonix they are an anual which selfseeds all over....

Sandra:

It look very different from the Marigolds I used to seeing. I thought it was maybe a perennial like Tagetes lemmonii - Mexican Marigold which is in full bloom here right now...and grows to a 6 foot / 2 meters tall shrub.

these pop up and fill spaces all over the place. i like the sound of your marigolds...

Sandra:

Is this the typical annual type? We have those also...they are planted throughout the year...mostly in summer though. I've planted them before however, the snails just love to eat them up...very quickly! LOL!!!

sounds like the same ones...these ones are benifiting from the slugs beeing asleep...lol

Sandra:

You're lucky your snails are sleeping...our snails are most active in winter. Oh, do I hate snails!
