The postman knocked on the door this morning with a parcel. I couldn’t think what was in it. Even the label on the outside that declared that the sender was a nursery didn’t provide an instant clue.
When I opened the parcel, I realised that it was the anemones that I had succumbed to back in February – how quickly time passes :).
The leaflet in the package suggested that despite the lack of apparent life in the plants, they would grow away just fine if planted out now. I am afraid that I have decided to take the conservative option and wait until the plants are at least showing some sign of life before putting them in the ground, so they are now sitting outside the back door waiting for a while.
(PS – sorry about reusing the photo from when I ordered the plants, but I have managed to break my camera and am waiting for the replacement that I bought on ebay to arrive. I’ve gone for an exact copy of what I had before, but the situation has made me think about buying a new camera, so watch this space for when I eventually decide what to spend my money on.)

I just love those times when that happens 🙂 Like Christmas!!! Except for perhaps it brings more work in the garden than I had remembered I was to do! Fun non the less! 🙂 Ron bought a camera on Ebay. Some people are scared to do that! Bravo to you and Ron! It came all the way to Ohio from Singapore!

Luckily mine is only coming from Sheffield – hope it comes soon.

I imagine you are seeing all the messages flying on our Welshie Yahoo site! Everyone is gearing up for the National Speicialty in Oregone! I would love to go to one sometime. Perhaps Alec will be able to be in it.

I’m thinking about going to the 2011 one as it is in PA and we could combine a trip with visiting family. Loved AmSpan when I went a few years ago – great to see the showing scene in a different country 🙂
