HI Kell, you naughty plant pig! he he. I've been trying to think of ways for you to hang your broms, but haven't come up with anything yet. Maybe you could start a new thread asking for ideas?
I work at a massive wholesale nursery every friday, mostly weeding (I'm very good at it) and ocasionally working with the broms, dividing and seperating them for others to pot up. The boss has been collecting broms for about 40 years, and has a fabulous collection, but they are neglected and screaming out for me to take them home and nurse them. I once asked him if i could buy the odd one off him, but he said he would rather swap, and i don't think i have anything he hasn't already got, to swap with. But I live in hope that he will share his contacts with me so that I can purchase from them. He has given me the occasional plant, so that keeps me coming back. Its a nice place to work and he has some spectacular broms. I will take my camera with me, not this week (its Easter) but next.
The oil in the storm water is due to garages being flooded. It was quite severe and lots of homes were damaged. We were quite lucky really, so I'm thanking my lucky stars.
This pic is looking from the front veranda. Some of the gardens went under and the garage was 3" deep in water, but nothing was lost (yet) The mulch was washed away in places, but can be replaced.
I hope you don't get into too much trouble with hubby! What if you send him on a fishing expidition for a week so you can display your plants? he he
