They even got into a pot of ginger DH had planted and he is still looking for the ginger :-) I hate to tell you but it is going up to 36C here at the weekend and will be hotter for you.

Once you have a decent sized bush, may I have a cutting please? At present I only have the white ones with the black centres that I have grown from seed but a lovely dark one like that would be a knockout. So nice to have things pop up without too much attention, alway a lovely surprise. Hope you hip improves quickly would be very difficult with the stairs I imagine. I've given up on my garden for the time being, not here enough and the heat just knocks everything.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511242657757784812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-31623143244254219562016-12-27T10:46:21.214+10:002016-12-27T10:46:21.214+10:00Thank you so much Guida.

Your garden looks lovely. I love hydrangeas, but they are too thirsty for me at this place, maybe the new place will be better. The plant is called "parrot plant" and it is an Impatiens. Yours looks lovely, ours is quite tall now and it loves lots of water too, oh well. Take care of yourself.

I am trying to take photos of insects around here to discover who is "naughty or nice" so I can evict the naughty ones! New properties have enough of their own soil and climate challenges without predatory bugs. The hens help me with disposal of snails and slugs :).<br />Cheers, RobynLouiseRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.com
