Aldi plug plants

A shop I use but never for plants and was surprised to see plug plants at only £1.99 for 6.

So I was delighted to pick up Marikina and Matt Busby fuchsias.

I shall let them grow in their little house until they outgrow it and then I shall multi pot them and repot until final 5inch pot.

As they grow I shall update blog photos.

The final pot will be a hanging pot with all 6 plants growing as 1.

Amaryllis Nymph in 2nd year growth

For Christmas 2013 I received a gift of an Amaryllis and I was so delighted as I had never grown one before but now I think I am hooked.

Well I planted her in January of 2014 and she grow ever so well for me and happy to say here we are in 2015 and she is in bud once again.

This is a photo of it in bloom for the first time last year.
