The few cyclamen corms I planted a few years ago were promptly snatched by some pesty squirrel, so I'm not sure what's still out there. Whatever is, is probably not very healthy and happy, so I was actually really surprised to find that cyclamen! And happy too I should say!<br /><br />The alstroemeria I LOVE. I've heard of people not having luck with the sweet laura coming back, but for me, every plant has to be a plant-it-and-forget-it, and it's been great, and has come back every year. <br /><br />I also don't cut flowers nearly enough, but that would be a great one to cut.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-40255721534815569352009-11-07T22:36:21.350-05:002009-11-07T22:36:21.350-05:00I'm amazed how much growth you still have.

Now more than ever. Love the cyclaman underneath. That Gallardia is tempting too. I can almost smell your roses. The purple mum is really unusual.

I really enjoyed mine for the one season that I had it, but it's nice to see it growing happily in a more suitable climate. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
