Surprise, surprise

Despite the frenzied unwrapping of presents on Christmas day (not forgetting a birthday 3 days earlier I should add), one could say 'that's your lot' for a wee while. However, with the auricula season soon upon us I couldn't help but take a more detailed look at Woottens of Wenhasten to see their extensive list of these little beauties.

It wasn't long before 'viewing' on the website, became 'purchasing' and the speedy arrival of the parcel within 2 days. Well impressed!

Packaging was pretty expensive but the contents inside were superbly protected with some biodegradable corn-starch chips.

So, in addition to the auriculas, I also persuaded myself to get some more species pelargoniums to try; interestingly, pelargoniums were a hot debate on the BBC series 'Garden Revival' 

All unwrapped and ready to go. Sadly, there was one runt of the litter but I'm sure he / she will do fine and soon catch up with their fellow offspring.
