Well..they're kind of looking the worse for wear as well so I concur on the thing of horribly neglected and forgotten plants. Bad gardener person that I have become.

Somehow I never get the time (or inclination) to deal to them. Have a few old cymbidium orchids that are decidedly on their last legs and haven't flowered for ages. Also have a wickedly spikey cactus about 1.5m tall that falls over as the pot is too small and not weighty enough, but the cactus is putting out heaps of huge flowers regardless!<BR/>BridgetCabbage Tree Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035566919486082520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-61741173754312048502008-12-22T13:02:00.000+13:002008-12-22T13:02:00.000+13:00Hi amy.

We'll see once he's recovered I guess.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-4112282694955758232008-12-22T12:22:00.000+13:002008-12-22T12:22:00.000+13:00What sort of plant is Grandpa anyway?What sort of plant is Grandpa anyway?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076349937962262361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-73906263373929789752008-12-22T10:53:00.000+13:002008-12-22T10:53:00.000+13:00Hi Weaver,Grandpa will make it I'm sure.

Hope his snippet that you have repotted thrives. I too love gardening - often plants that look pretty dead have a bit of life in them somewhere. Happy Christmas to you all.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
