Pakige arrived, and it is indeed some of my live plants. They had a bit of a rough trip, they're soaking in some water now and I'll plant them this afternoon. Hopefully not in the middle of a thunderstorm. They sent a free plant too, and I'll have to look up what it is to figure out if I can actually use it.
Edit: I think I'll have to rehome the free plant. "Scabrosa" is a type of rose, which is very thorny, tends to sucker from the roots and left unchecked can grow into an inpenetrable thicket. Sounds perfect if I want to role play Sleeping Beauty, but probably not something I can fit into my garden. Maybe I can sneak into next door's back yard and secretly plant it there. Then I could see who wins an unchecked battle for dominance: blackberry or scabrosa.
Free plants? Do you mean a weed that sprouted in one of the pots, because if not I'd love to know where you can order plants and get free ones as a bonus :D
It was in it's own pot, with "free scabrosa" written on the side. One of the other companies I was looking at had free plants if you spend a certain amount, and you got to pick which one. I can't remember which company unfortunately, but it is definitely something you can get if you look!
The food is free cupboard at Ringwood East is doing a free plant day this weekend, so I'll probably take it down there to find it a new home.
Ooh, that's nice to know. I've almost only ever bought plants in person so now I feel DANGEROUSLY tempted to buy them online (note: I really must not do this especially as I'll be away for most of December and might move in a few months time...)
I got an Elephants foot from SueAloe on gumtree. It came with a wee sprig of some type of cedum that I've successfully grown out.
