Hello everyone! It's been a while! I thought of you guys this morning when I sent a friend of a friend away with far more semps than she was bargaining on, if the look on her face was anything to go by lol.
She messaged me on fb to say she was looking for a Christmas present for her husband. They have a present game they play where by they have to spend exactly £10 on a gift, it has to be something they've not asked for, but will like.
When they were away on holiday in Cornwall this year there was semps growing in the wall of their holiday cottage. Her husband was so intrigued by them he made her take a picture, hoping to find out more about them when they got home. He never managed to find out what they were called and it was forgotten. Until she saw pics on my fb wall and thought it would be the perfect Christmas gift! She asked where she could find some, so I told her she was welcome to some of mine. She asked for one plant........
As I can see from the wall, lots of us have soggy semps at the moment, and I didn't have a ''nice' enough looking clump to dig up for her, so I took a selection of different ones. They didn't look many in the bucket until I brought them inside to clean the mushy leaves off, but there were were far more than I thought i'd picked oppps! A bit like a child at the pick n mix sweet counter, I'd gone a bit over board! They'll look fab in her home cast concrete pot come spring when they have lots of pretty colours, but I wouldn't want too be the one to have to plant them all in this weather
I hope I may have just created a new Semp fan, someone to share plants with. Me? An enabler? Never........
Wishing everyone a very happy holiday season, I hope everyone has a peaceful break. xxx
