Daffodils, £1 a bunch in Sainsbury’s!
OK, only small bunches, but still….
Here’s my £2 worth…

Hope in a vase!

I love this but won't be buying any because they are force grown and imported. I'll wait until my own appear.

Mine in the pic are British, probably grown in Cornwall.

My last Poinsietta lasted till end of February - seriously

These are our Poinsiettas taken last week. There are 15 there. All cuttings taken about a years ago. They are usually at the windows but thought we would put them together to take a picture. They have come out better than we expected.

Beautiful, me2u. Well done for growing the cuttings so successfully.

Love daffs. I bought 2 bunches today.
It makes it feel like spring.
We always used to have poinsettias, though they never looked as stunning as yours me2u.

Wow, how long does the "parent poinsettia plant" last? How!

Daffodils are always so lovely and very welcome .

A neighbour gave me these lovely hyacinths for Christmas. Not a bit of colour on them then. I swear they grow inches overnight and they cheer me up every morning.
