Good morning, Jo Jo
Now where do I begin with talking to you. Here I go. Yes, the Little Lime is very special and I got my delivery about an hour ago. The two Little Limes were there, but far smaller than I anticipated. It doesn't matter because I know just how they thrive with the minimum of attention (well, none really, although I give it some water when watering here). It doesn't grow flowers which then become untidy. They don't get fertiliser, well not here in my garden nor in the church's, yet it stayed this vibrant lime. It's a total winner, as far as I am concerned and friend, who wrote "love" in her sentence about Little Lime.
Now Kirin. The flowers are small, but there are thousands of them on the plant. Perhaps, a million. Sorry, jo jo but your granny is sometimes prone to a little exaggeration. But truth is, it is a perpetual flowerer, if that's a word. I can barely remember a month of the year where there are no flowers. Mind you, it has been part of my life for so many years, I may have simply overlooked its non-flowering period. Like all azaleas and their relatives, rhodies, etc. the plant is shallow rooted, and thus needs watering particularly during the summer months. It is "tough as old boots". My friend thought her plant is an azalea but likely to be a white one as a previous gardener said she was making a white garden from that bed and that is where it is planted. Well, I want a multi-coloured pretty garden and not a white one. Besides, Anne has not told me she wanted a white garden. In the garden are also a few plants which looks like the one below. A pale lime Hellebore winter rose:
This is the plant my friend wanted to have removed, but changed her mind when I managed to extract all the weeds surrounding and embedded into them. I think it will look great with the Little Lime behind it and surrounded by the Lavenders and the Kirin, the pink flowering azalea. What do you reckon, Jo Jo?
