Long forgotten, hidden in the corner of the greenhouse, much neglected, but lo and behold, it's flowering! 13/3/2019

Treat 'em mean & keep 'em keen, as some say here Laura! @columbiariver

Isn’t it lovely when you find something that’s had the good grace to take care of itself 😉

It very nearly got thrown out last year & almost certainly would have this, but not now! @kez001uk

@gjones This could hardly have been neglected more unless I'd shoved it outside. I'm amazed it's survived all this time really, at least 2 to 3 years left in the corner & forgotten

Certainly was Terri. It's so long since I last saw it flower that I can't really remember what it looked like! @terrimclaughlin

@jeatacake I had a lovely surprise from you today! 😜 thank you so so much for the card and the seeds, was a lovely gesture 😁 can’t wait to get them started 😋 are they all sown like most seeds?

So glad you got them. Meant to send them sooner, but still time to sow them. Most are pretty normal for sowing except the frangipani seeds. They need only their heads in the compost, with their tails pointing straight up! They also need a constant 20C to germinate, if you manage that 👍😊 @kez001uk
