In my recent blog post about snails, cannily titled ‘Snails’, I wrote about my extreme distaste for those creatures!
I had written that the slimy little b%^*+#%s had chewed on my Hippeastrum’s flowering stems. I feared the blooms I had been waiting for, (quite literally) for years would be lost.
Well, I’m here to say they’re not lost!
I’m pleased to report that even the blooms on the most damaged stem have opened in their extreme magnificence. They are surviving strong!
The bud that was chewed on isn’t the most perfect of blooms but in my opinion it’s still beautiful.
The moral of the story could well be not to give up on anything!
Til next time!
