Re: Re: a Pom Pom flower so pretty and do you know your pear tree is a lovely shot
CORNCRAKE I am no expert either.in fact this little digital is part of me being free to be me...the first camera that has ever actually been mine.But I like what you are doing and it is a joy each day to see the pretty darlings so cheeky here everyday.....and yes forme retirement is exactly stopping and smelling the roses....enjoying allsorts of simple things that are around me. I have seen the palaces and fancy Hotels the exotic and the unusual....nothing can compare to a new tulip flowering or Sammy Squirrel begging at the window for my company.

Re: E.E.
CC - the account of the little boy enjoying makes me get tears...Awww - I like how you share. I think yes, this would be a 'healing' plant for the young and the elderly - These are 'clownish' and then beautiful and as I see on the next presentation, "bold" - They speak in a different language, each one of the variations or hybrids. And now I think that an excellent type fertilizer suggestion - Thank you CC ~ *moved by the little boy...E.E.

Isn't it right though Kabu so many things are taken for granted, I suppose when one is young there are always things top be concerned about, but it all ends in the same way.
Do you know I just feel like a plate of fish and chips, but a tin of sardines are nearer, hope it's all going alright, that is a William pear I'm not much use with camera's but I am trying to improve.

Hi E.E. The leaves are more softer than succulent. When first discovered they were called bears ears for some reason,the leaf is leathery and the root is carrot shaped. Feeding well I just slosh a drop of seaweed mixture into a can or some soluble fertilizer, it is better to not overfeed any flower really as it makes too much lush growth. In the autumn I give an occasional feed of a low growth type. I don't think there is any set pattern one just looks at the plants and if they look hungry, just like a dog or cat. I'll just tell you a little story happened to day a Doctor who takes some of my plants to Hospitals rang me up a moment ago. I had given her one or two small Auriculas as she goes mad over them and usually manages to lose them in the Winter. She told me she had taken one of these small plants into a child's ward, a little boy who was seriously ill looked at it and said 'I've never seen a plant growing in a pot only plastic one,s and in shop windows. She said it was no use leaving it though.

like you our dear Elyse has taught me to see more beauty in the less spectacular and to appreciate all around me more. Yesterday I didn't see them, but the deer were close by, I could smell that lovely odour and breathed in deeply.

OH oui oui --- the pom pom frill and of course, that deep lavender color does ring of the French ~ so romantic. I love these - and could you tell me if this leaf structure is like a 'succulent'? That is good growth for newly acquiring - do you 'feed' them with a special fertilizer food to help them along, CC? I was wondering how one would dose the feed so as not to even 'glut' or overfeed these delicate blossoms. I don't want to disturb with 'questions' too many so don't worry if you don't feel up to answer. E.E.

Rose Bonjour a small double that I acquired late in the Autumn and has managed to put forth just two flowers to date.
