Silly Lillies & Daff-Nee



Well things appear to be getting back to somewhat normal here thankfully.

The repair bill for Micks motorbike was 80% of the value of the bike so we decided to bite the bullet and get a new one. As much as he loves it, it was just insane to spend that kind of money on it.


Hopefully we'll be picking the new bike up this afternoon or tomorrow so I have a car again :-)


This means that I can put my new plants up for sale, knowing I'll be able to get to the post office should any sell.

Here are 2 more that I managed to finish yesterday. I've had these sitting around for ages but didn't have the time to get them potted.

Finally Silly Lily-Jean & Silly Lily-Jo were rescued from he florist foam and planted in the manner which they deserve.

Silly Lilies are from the same plant kingdom as Floozies but are much further down the ladder in terms of rudeness and recklessness. Silly Lilies won't make a pass at your man nor will they bite....but do expect the odd raspberry to be blown at you !







Now to Daff-Nee. I was playing about with different plants and came up with her.

I have to say she really doesn't light my fire but, before she gets relegated to the compost heap, I wanted to show you all.





So, what do you think about Daff-Nee ?

  1. Ahhh your mean to Daff Nee, she is beautiful Jayne! as are they all. Thanks for your email, will take some pics of Johns bikes to send you . such a shame, its a fab bike, but like you say not worth ploughing money into so looking forward to seeing the new one. Good luck with your sales, I know they will all go, and Im saving furiously for another, they are hugely addictive !! Kate xxx

  2. Well, Daff-Nee is cute but she looks too much like a lot of the other girls to be special. I'd like to see "someone" giving a big smacking kiss!

  5. I think Daff-Nee is kind of cute. Maybe she needs kissy lips instead of blowing a raspberry?

  19. I love Daff knee-I kind of dig her tongue sticking out like that! I was going to ask you what Mick did to the bike so he could manage a new one, but see Kat beat me to it! LOL! Glad to hear that things are settling down- did all those men put anything back into your garden for you or only just make a mess taking out and leave ya hanging?
