Big thanks Lena!!!

Today i was left speechless for while...
Last week i bought 2 unrooted cuttings of very pretty Marbacka ,,,lady who sold them told me she did put some extra plants in parcel.So,i thought i will get some nice new varieties unrooted cuttings,,ta-da :) How big was my surprise when i opened parcel,,,thank you very much dear Lena,,i really hope that cuttings will root,and i won't kill my new plants with love(as i usually do).
      Lena have very nice little website,,love her photos!!!Thank you again!!!You made my day!!!

New 'sport'???

Last year discovered that one of my new 'Lord Bute' grown from my own cuttings,have different flowers,,so wonder does it already exist as variety,or i have something new .I did check pelargonium register,didn't find anything similar.Look at photos and say what do you think.It just started to open,and if i didn't know from where it come from,i would think i have new variety.

Look at them buds,,colour.

Big thanks....

I get great bunch of pellies today from Sweden. 

   Thanks to Cathrin, who 2 weeks ago,was standing in her local flower shop,looking for present for her self.Because it was her birthday and her little girl gave to her  some money to get nice pelargonium  ,,,somehow and no idea why,she remembered one poor pelliemadgirl in Ireland,who was looking for  particular Swedish variety.Thanks to Facebook,she found one of my posts,and made contact with me.It was so nice of her,i couldn't believe to my eyes ,and i was over moon after our conversation.And i still am :)

  It made me think,you never know when something good can happen with you,,,and that people who love plants are best ones ...Thank you Cathrin,!!!

Instead of one,i end up with 5,,as usual 

Newcomers ...

Hi !

  Very dull day here,and cold too.But thanks goodness no rain and big winds.I was working in my garden today,and time to time look at gates,,is there coming somebody or not at last...had to wait until afternoon,when white van come in to yard,and I got my parcel what i was waiting for.(Little jig here ;)

  I was really pleased with all what i saw when i opened box,and started potting on them.Really good quality plants,and good size to.

  Highly recommended nursery,,only now they do not take any orders any more,until autumn/winter. So save web address,and make list for next season.But this summer,,you're welcome to come to my place and see them in life .

All mine :)

Four and half  days in box,and look so good.

Mixed organic compost with worm compost,and bit of perlite.

All ready for planting.

Look at roots.

All planted !

Easy folk....

   Got yesterday early birthday present,watering can what i was looking for ages.I wanted one with long spout,and i found it at end in one of g/c.Yesterday we were there(for Valentine day cake),and there i'm-happy as pig in mud..i have posh watering can for my pellies :)
   We gardeners,are  so easy to please folks ...

Potting,re potting,de potting....

Hi all!
  Yesterday was great day,,cold but sunny,no wind for change,and same today.Love that kind of weather,,in winter of course.
  Started repot my pellies at end of January,now i'm very close to finish all that.Still looking for best compost possible to find in garden centers here in Ireland,so if you know good peat free one,,give me a shout. 
    Right now I find only one where is 50%/50% peat and compost(Westland John Innes nr 2 potting on compost),,adding same amount of Living green worm compost,and little bit of grit,because Westland John Innes nr 2 feels very sandy.Can see pots dry out fast.Worm compost by the way is produced here  in Ireland,in Co.Donegal
  Some photos from yesterday:
                                                    Moved my orchids in better place,

 That huge succulent plant is Kalanchoe 'Tessa',budding right now,,it have very pretty red flowers.

                I hope you can see how light in colour is John Innes compost beside worm compost.

                                                      Repotted and happy,,i hope :)

                                      Zonartic pellies doing really well in this time of year.

                                         This nursery side is almost full  today.

3 weeks later,exp.Nr1

Now,,i must tell you straight away,it fail,,no roots to any of cuttings,and do not look like they will be soon there.It is possible that i choose wrong time for it,,so I will repeat it some time later,in early summer.
