Getting flowery 💚🤍💗 #heather #heather-tricolour #heather-carmen-red #heather-mary-helen #heather-white-perfection

Love it!

That's pretty

Beautiful. Love the colours together. 💗💚🤍

@DeborahBanks @charlotte @hkyfvr thank you ladies 😀 heathers are so underrated! Look fantastic even when they’re not in flower 😍

Very welcome Kerry. They are really lovely 💚🤍💗

Looking good, with a lot more to come 👍

@jeatacake it’s absolutely covered in buds & flowers 😍 really happy since it was moved to the shady front border 😁

It's amazing what a move can do for a plant. A bit like us humans sometimes? 🤔

@jeatacake oh yes! 😛

I have a heather that was a Bday gift last year, I’ve no idea what to do with it Kerry!?

@sieveheadsarah I do very little with mine to be honest. It’s in shade most of the day and is occasionally fed, if I remember 😂 I just prune it back after flowering and leave it alone

Fab, I’d say mine needs a prune then as it looks awful and still has the old flowers, I’ll do it today. Thanks. 😀

@sieveheadsarah hope it brings it back to life 😁

I chopped it back yesterday, fingers crossed it’ll be ok 🤨

@sieveheadsarah 🤞🏻🤞🏻

So many pot Kerry 😱 you'll be kept busy watering 😅 the garden is looking great 👍

Any idea how many pots in total do you have now 😅

@alan1111 this is pretty much all new additions since last summer 🙈 watering will be even more tedious this year 😂 I think there’s almost 350 now 🤯

Hi Kerry 👋 sorry about the slow reply, call it a bump in the road. Hope all is well 😁 oh kerry 350😱 ouch! That will be a full time job 😅 I look forward to seeing all the new additions I know you have a great taste for plants @kez001uk

@alan1111 Alan! Hi 😁 how are you doing?? No worries, had a couple of big bumps myself so not keeping up with things very well 🙈 the watering has started and I’m now up to 90 minutes for a decent soak 🤪

@gjones they’re really cute up close aren’t they 😛 much more detailed than you’d expect 🤩

Not a heather lover but this looks fabulous 😍👌🏼 those tiny pink flowers are adorable 💗

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom some look much better than others. Some I have get leggy and scruffy but this seems to keep a good shape. And the little pink flowers are so cute 💕

Great close up Kerry!💘😍

They look lovely 😍

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😁 love the mix of colours and they’re so intricate up close 😍

@jeatacake thank you Jeff ☺️ does look good when they all flower together 😍

My pleasure!💘😍

Very nice & a few weeks ahead of mine I'd say 👍

@jeatacake this one is against a warm wall so think that’s spurred it on a little 😂 tumble dryer outlets, pretty effective plant warmers 🤣

Ha ha! Yes it would be. You could put up a mini greenhouse there & pipe in all that warm air - recycled energy! 👍

@jeatacake that’s not a bad idea!!! Greta Thunberg would be proud 😉🤣

I'm saying nothing! 🤐😂

@jeatacake 🤣🤣 I’d like to put her in a soundproof greenhouse, personally speaking 🤭🤣

That's a polite way of going about it! 😂

@jeatacake it’s my attempt at being diplomatic but I expect you can tell my true feelings about the pretentious little upstart! “How dare you!” 🤣😂

Ha ha ha! Still being too polite I reckon! 😂😂😂

@jeatacake my thoughts are less so 🤣🤣🤣
