A canna lily in north London

Thanks to Debby H for getting in touch with a great picture of her canna lily and don’t it look grand!
She also let us know that she sowed the first of her cosmos seeds a couple of days ago and she’ll let us know when they start showing up. As she said “It’s a bit early to sow them, but it’s an experiment!” We are always up for gardening experiments here. Saying that most of our gardening experiences are experiments.

Indoor plants in north London

Thanks to Debby H for keeping us updated about her house plants and sending us a couple of pictures. She wrotes “Since we brought in the canna lily, the leaves have grown hugely. It’s now as tall as our orange tree. And at night, the leaves all point up to the ceiling, almost like a religious ceremony! It’s never done that before. It usually goes into a big sulk, and the leaves start turning brown. Not this year!” That’s great to hear.
Also “The orchid flowers have continued to open, which is attractive when there’s not many other flowering plants around.” Great stuff Debby, good to hear from you!
