Great story @Picidae, and great tulips. My reason today is that my first clematis is out in today's sunshine, a lovely purple alpine (forget the name unfortunately) but will post a photo.
Support your local independant garden centres and nurseries I've been eyeing up this dark leaved, rosette-forming plant in a local
nursery for a while now but they only have a mature plant in a large
dish for a price that is a bit high for me. I asked one of the workers if they'd ever consider potting up a couple of the rosettes in
individual pots and selling them more cheaply. She was really nice about
it and said she'd pot one up for me there and then. As she tried to
tease it apart a big chunk fell out and she shoved it all into the one
pot for me. The result is a bit of a build-your-own succulent kit but
I've ended up with a bunch of rooted rosettes and a handfull of bits for
cuttings so for the £1 she charged me I won't complain at all. You don't get this sort of service at the big chain garden centres (in my experience anyway).
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
