Title: What a difference a week makes
Post by: shelagh on March 03, 2018, 02:01:00 PM
Three Hepaticas, got a first at Pershore last week.  Spent this week in the cold (cold brrr) frame and now look at them.

Maybe I should change the heading to what a difference 2 weeks makes.  Here are the same 3 Hepaticas picture taken this morning.  The single pink and the Blue Sandan were both on the bench at Loughborough yesterday. Plants resilience always amazes me.

Looking terrific!   Seems we humans could  do with some plant-based  improvements in our recovery  capacity!

Definitely Maggi, although I find the sunshine helps a lot.

Too right, Shelagh! Nothing like a bit of sunshine on the bones to perk me up.

Poured all day yesterday - but  dry and  been quite bright today - so the snowdrops are opening up to enjoy the sun too.  Getting colder and dull again now - very up and down weather - which is no fun at all.
