I mentioned that my mum visited me a couple of months ago, and brought three massive clumps of plants - two Geranium (pink and blue) and a Convallaria.
Mum had taken them from Grannie and Grandpa's garden when they had to clear the house, and grown them on in her own garden, and now that her garden is being completely redesigned, she lifted them for me to have, on the condition that she can have a clump of each later.
On Thursday, I saw the first flower on the Geranium open. And coincidentally, Thursday would have been Grannie's 90th birthday. I'm not very good on my flowers though. Is it "Johnson's Blue"?
I love the fact that these plants are the same ones that have been in three generations of gardeners' gardens, and that I get to go on enjoying them. And if I keep on dividing them, there'll be enough for my little brother to have some when he's able to have a garden.
And now I'm wondering if the pink variety will flower for what would have been Grandpa's 93rd birthday this coming Tuesday.
