I have a stunning amaryllis going now, which gives me a lift in this dark Canadian winter. Love your china, and envy your access to such little treasures!

I tend not to have many plants in the house due to the penchant cats have for knocking over pots and eating things that they should not. Although I have just brought in a huge pot of blue hyacinths to acclimatise them to the house ready for display. I have a large garden that is always alive, even in the depths of winter. A small patch of last year’s wallflowers in persistent bloom are defying the dropping temperatures outside my kitchen window. I have had to replant a daffodil bulb this morning that I found lying on top of the soil. The local badger clan are regular visitors and are fond of digging up bulbs (and sometimes eating them).

I’ll never get anything like that done. However, I am following the new trend of “wild gardening”. So in October, the wonderful borage bloomed pale purple in the balcony flower box. And in my kitchen flower pot there are currently strong green leaves and white blossoms — of unknown origin. I enjoy them every day!

Love & Peace

I’ve spied three emerging snowdrops in my lawn this morning but I must organise myself at least one of these indoor treats. First stop, charity shops for pre-loved china! Many thanks ?

Pretty bowls already sorted, thank you.

Larger, blueish leaves, much bigger flowers – & in flower, right now, outside & on my allotment, in profusion
