If I had a flower like that I would become a rich man

You're very rich in happiness, contentment and spirit! Monetary gain is all very well, but a frisson of excitement, sudden ecstasy counts more to the soul!

OK! I know I am talking gibberish! I do love money too! LOL!

Explain yourself. I dearly hope you mean many plants?

I was copying this graphic for @Upsy Daisy to see, confirming the fact that in the depth of rural Hampshire, it could be 0c or 1! I then found out that there were too many snapshots and one which would betray my browsing habits and thus reveal how silly I am, so I tried to delete one. In a mad rush, I deleted them all.

Well, I was messy and hence this enigma!

Thank you because I was concerned you meant an oxygen tank with plastic tubes into your nostrils. Once again, and fortunately, two peoples separated by a common language

I thought you were talking about my weather chart. Oooops!I didn't know I lumped the two posts together. I am soooo embarrassed by having so many posts now that I group them together.

Oxygen tank is for the Mother-in-law's tongue cuttings. They are supposed to give out oxygen at night, so I am more or less creating an oxygen tank in half a year's time. It took a long time for them to root. Today I have seen roots from cuttings taken MONTHS ago! These little encouragements have given me infinite hope and so I wielded my scissors and turned this project into a tray of hope!

I assure you, so many will not appreciate the little things.

Congratulations! Money helps too! You want my details when you hit the jackpot!

That's sooooooooo goooooood! Normally, I don't even get 2 numbers. When I won something £2.90, I clicked to send the money to my TSB. The money was lost in the void!

WELL DONE!

An intimate dinner for the better half!?​

Why isn't there an emoji for winning the mini-lottery?

£££££££££

Just finished watching Bodyguard. It's OK!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Was it good?

Just watching GW from Friday as I didn't get round to watching it ....With a mug of Hot Chocolate, and a fleece blanket !!!!??

Yes, and Carol was talking about Salvias. She mentioned one which had white bracts, but dark inner petals/bracts. Not a patch of Amistad.

I put the ad on gumtree and 2 hours later, I had a lady coming to buy them. Only charged £8. She was well chuffed, saying that they were not the run of the mill salvias. All had flowers and cuttings taken one or 2 months ago. @Upsy Daisy, Perki and Zenj, I would encourage you all to do the same. Get some money back for the compost! Need to go and test the 99p organic flour bought from Aldi. If it is good, will walk down the road to buy them all up!

Just watching that bit now @alp

I really like that garden with tons of terracotta pots lining white bricks on the ground - think it was the previous episode. I like these an hour versions very much, especially the gardens incorporated in each episode. So much more informative and inspiring and those gardens are all a delight to eyes and souls! Now I am going to dream winning the lottery now - I'll be very happy just winning £81. Good night to all!

Night night, sweet dreams everyone

Very dark and coolish morning. Thank heavens for a quiet night. Need to do a lot of cuttings as the window will close soon. The Caribbean Fantasy cuttings has responded very well. Will take more cuttings. Shame that I don't have a lot of the flowering ones - some are still in buds and if they are not in buds, they are repeats! What a rotten year!
