Unbelievable! I managed to save money this year. I dug up my geraniums at the end of the year & planted them in the floor of my cold greenhouse & covered them with fleece. They survived the winter, I planted them out & they are now in full bloom, much earlier than putting out small plants & saved money.
I have been known to remove all the wrong labels in tesco flower dept. Roses labelled as lilies, carnations labelled as roses. crysanths labelled as mixed flower bouquet. I don't think the lad putting them out had any idea what they were.
i have just been to morrisons, in the car park they have a philadelphus with a wild rose growing through it both in full flower and a young man with a hedge trimmer cutting bits of them so i went over an asked if i could have a branch to take cuttings, take as much as you like so i did
result, Little-ann. Love Morrison's plants. Do you have the plants in a seperate greenhouse building like we do here? The two Senetti plants I bought for £2.50 each from there are still in full flower after almost months - talk about value for money

Emma I thought mine were expensive just under 8 quid each from GC, which is a pricey place.
I mean, they must have been 3ft+ tall, but even so
3 ft tall gerberas? were they giving away free samples of wine?
lol it said gerbera on the label. The flowers were gerbera
