I used to always have a pot or two growing in the house but after a succession of house moves have simply forgotten about them and they are so pretty. You're very fortunate to have inherited pretty china too - so worth cherishing. I find it amazing what does sprout in our Monday vases - for me it is often ivy - plants for free. Loved the video - very entertaining :) Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762785911026167332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-29895834595681637682016-01-19T12:49:04.364-08:002016-01-19T12:49:04.364-08:00Thanks, Villrose, you must also be eagerly awaitin...Thanks, Villrose, you must also be eagerly awaiting spring and the rose blooming season.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-81662065529621107112016-01-18T19:06:15.036-08:002016-01-18T19:06:15.036-08:00Thanks, Shrub Queen, I didn't expect them to d...Thanks, Shrub Queen, I didn't expect them to do so well.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-21994272137302373982016-01-18T19:04:35.996-08:002016-01-18T19:04:35.996-08:00Thanks, Kris, I have never succeeded with violets ...Thanks, Kris, I have never succeeded with violets before, they are tempting now that I have had them grow and bloom.
