I just may have to do some research on it.<br />That is cold Rose. Makes our temperatures seem positively tropical :) 7C at the moment or 44F<br /><br />Have a wonderful 2018 RoseCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-19773547249206080922018-01-02T05:57:56.929-08:002018-01-02T05:57:56.929-08:00I hope you had a wonderful holiday season with you...I hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your family, Cheryl! I know what you mean about Christmas going by in the blink of an eye--I should start taking down my tree and other decorations, but it seems like I put them up only yesterday and I'd like to enjoy them a little longer. The iris is so interesting; I'm not familiar with this plant, but I feel the same way about Blackberry lily, which has lovely seeds in the fall that I enjoy more than the blooms. We're in the grips of a real deep freeze here right now, so gardening is out of the questions for awhile. It was -14 F this morning, which I can't even convert to Celsius:) Wishing you and your family all the best in the coming New Year!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-81475358367876102882018-01-01T23:36:33.742-08:002018-01-01T23:36:33.742-08:00Thank you Jan, I shall take a look today when I ha...Thank you Jan, I shall take a look today when I have time to absorb the information.<br />Really kind of you.

I ...Hello Cheryl, lovely to see this post from you.<br />I have to agree with you, Christmas does go by at a blink of the eye, in fact I think 2017 zoomed by.<br />I enjoyed seeing your photographs.<br /><br />Many thanks for commenting on the low carb diabetic blog. I see you have a recently discovered intolerance to dairy so will need to amend your diet etc.<br />I'm sure your Doctor / medical professional has advised you on some foods that you can still eat. You may be interested to know, that a friend of mine who is intolerant to dairy, said she found this article helpful<br />https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/spotlight-dairy-free<br /><br />Sending my good wishes to you and yours for a Happy 2018.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-68277685310009610242018-01-01T01:10:53.918-08:002018-01-01T01:10:53.918-08:00Each season has something to offer.

It is a British native.<br />It is great because it can be planted in full shade and still produce plenty of flowers. The flowers are quite wishy washy but I have grown to love them, and so do the bees. A bonus in this bee lovers garden.<br />I will show you what blooms in the pot. I quite like not remembering.<br />Brr that is cold. We had very low temperatures during December but now we are in a rainy mild spell. Not too sure which I prefer.<br /><br />Happy New Year Lisa xxxCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-37796982066664960092017-12-31T05:28:10.498-08:002017-12-31T05:28:10.498-08:00I try.

I too am ready for a new gardening year. I have so many plans. It is very clever of you to leave some apple sticks for those pesky rabbits. These berries are gorgeous. I have never heard of this Iris. I wonder if it grows here. I love to have berries in the garden for wildlife. I know I can't grow mahonia of any sort. It gets too cold here. Like this entire next week is to have temps below 0. Brrrrrr. Even Annie won't stay out much in those temperatures. I love surprises too. I hope you show us what finally blooms in your pots. A happy and healthy new year to you too. We will be leaning toward that sun. :)Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-78887546785626172502017-12-30T12:22:18.315-08:002017-12-30T12:22:18.315-08:00It's great that you have so much colour in the...It's great that you have so much colour in the depth of winterSimon Douglas Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331409652996600049noreply@blogger.com
