Where are they coming from?

VerdunVerdun Posts: 23,348

came home to see a parcel on my doorstep.  "Live plants" it said on the box.

excitedly ripped apart the packaging to reveal 3 Corries Gold Gauras in flower and in perfect condition.  Yippee!  Potted on into 1litre pots because there are still a few weeks of growing weather to come down here and watered.  Will plant out with purple shrubs, perennials or grasses in spring.

but, where did they come from?  I have more plants than I need right now and as a perfectly  logical person I could not have ordered more, could I?  But, did I?   Maybe a lager or two, maybe in my sleep or maybe a kind person on the forum treated me?  image 

A mystery methinks image

    Secret Gardening Club were selling 3 x Corries Gold Gaura in their latest selection. Maybe you have a secret admirer there. image

    Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

    Very nearly went for the Gaura myself but I already have far too many plants and I did manage to grow Gaura the Bride from seed last year but then shoe-horned it into the border and I don't think she was very happy.

    Yep, Secret G C are great.
