Geoff and I moved to our present house in December 2013. Starting from scratch it's been a huge challenge but we love it. joanboston357@gmail.com

Managed an hour in the garden after lunch. Trimming clematis and roses. Found Desdemona so I gave her some coffee grounds to hopefully keep the slugs off 🤷🤔

I’m amazed this plant has survived and flowered as it likes a damp spot

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co this is my desdemona, nibbled as you can see. I think the stronger the plant the less eaten they are. I’ve had this five years at least

Morning Joan, They're lovely. I've got some leopard plants but think they're in the wrong place as I have leaves but no signs of flowers. A case of not reading the label when I bought them as they prefer it a bit damp don't they ?
