Wonderful how you have thinned them out, relocated so many & given some away too.<br /><br />Laura's neat row made me smile; my mum once paid a boy who had learnt to garden in a municipal garden while serving as a youth offender. <br />Mum had hundreds of daffodil bulbs to plant. She would have put them in clumps of three or five; the young man put them in neat rows like he'd been taught. <br />When they came up like rows of soldiers with yellow caps we smiled.<br /><br />He had offered to spell out WALES with the planting but as mum wasn't Welsh( but did live in Wales ) she drew the line... at just having lines !

That's terrific! We once had bromeliads that were cutting from DH's mom's plants in N.O. They were very prolific. We had to build a special multi-leveled shelf for them in the winter and take them into the kitchen. After a number of years, we tired of this and let them survive the winter outside. They didn't.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-76247892383232124192013-09-21T11:23:39.240-04:002013-09-21T11:23:39.240-04:0010% of one weeks pay is quite a lot for flowers, h...10% of one weeks pay is quite a lot for flowers, however it turned out to be quite a good investment!joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-84894067292974069582013-09-21T11:21:00.630-04:002013-09-21T11:21:00.630-04:00You have flowers that trace their roots back to 19...You have flowers that trace their roots back to 1945???
