How could I resist ?

Post by Annie »

In the garden centre on Friday for a wee gift for a poorly relative and I saw these pretty faces so how could I resist taking 3 home to brighten outside my front door ?

They are really lovely Annie, ever so pretty >mmm<

I'm very allergic to them apparently - when I was a child, I was 'helping' mum in the garden with the Polyanthus and my face all swelled up!

Think I'd be okay to handle some with gloves on though >mmm<

They are beautiful Annie. )t'
I have a tray full of mixed polyanthus in the greenhouse that I've grown from seed .. I've tried twice in the last week to get them out in the garden but the ground is frozen solid. }hairout{

We have benches of them at the garden centre I work in - they are so uplifting this time of year, aren't they? :-D
