more garden pics
I had nearly given up on this rhododendron. It had no flowers last year but this year has four. The buds look an intense pink then open out into the most delicate white/pale pink gossamer-looking flowers. When I left my job I was told to take any of the plants as the site was getting closed down (remember Tina you helped me with the plants?) and this is one of the plants I took.
We moved the plum tree from its too small pot and put it in the ground. It survived and has blossom. Hopefully there won't be a frost like last year to destroy them before they have the change to turn into fruit.

Isn't it satisfying when you 'save'a plant?! Looks like your tender care has been worth while with all of yours...
ReplyDeletegood to have you back in Blogland. In the past I've killed many plants so yes it is lovely - I hadn't thought that I had 'saved' it. Looking at my old workplace there's a building where the garden was so that plant would have been a gonna. thanks for your post- i was feeling a bit morose today.x
