Well .. the story goes like this ..

Back in the beginning of June .. we went out and bought our annuals.
Came home and started to pot them ..
I had bought 2 Lavatera .. when I went to plant them .. I found them to be excessively WET .. so much so as to make putting them into the soil almost a NON issue !! BUT .. I did .. some 4 days later .. the Lavatera looked DEAD .. so .. I pulled it .. of course CURSING the greenhouse !!

Well .. lo and behold .. a week ago .. a 'bloom' started coming up through my potted petunias .. I watched and watched .. and .. TODAY .. it made its appearance .. a GORGEOUS .. Lavatera :-)

I HAD to share the beauty ..

Enjoy
