Happy Christmas one and all!
And a timely cookery tip, when making Christmas cake let the beaters stop before taking them out of the bowl unless you want your kitchen roughcasting like mine!
You hadn't a camera ready?

A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all and may all your plants do well in 2011





Ian, is it Fascicularia bicolor you show in your Xmas card? Do you grow it outside and how does it cope with the winter weather?

Thanks for the laugh.

A friend of mine has a christmas cake story.

Visitors called in for a cuppa with Gloria who is a good sort.
She was distracted because she was trying to assess the optimal time to get her legendary cake out of the oven.
She was also keeping an eye on Billy, her daughters big black Labrador dog for the day.

She managed to be hospitable and still get the cake out -perfect as usual. All the most expensive ingredients mind you.

The visitors stayed and stayed talking and playing with Billy while Gloria mentally clocked up all the other christmas preparations she had meant to get done.

She was relieved to farewell the visitors but even seeing them to the gate took ages. She said she was guiltily thinking how she would rather just get on with her day.

Back into the kitchen to deal to the cake. Not any sign of it at all.
Was she dreaming? She even checked in the oven twice. Maybe she hadn't taken it out after all.

Billy sh@ raisins for a week.

Trond yes you are correct I have had this for some years and have grown this in what I call my scree where it is a little large but gets the right amount of drainage. I am reluctant to say how hardy it is given that we are currently in the middle of the coldest spell here for some years but it has been an OK doer so far. The blue flowers which make it so attractive are short lived though :(
