Gudgie @gudgie.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Was gifted this canna by a colleague, and it's overwintering on a cool indoor windowsill. Now it's beginning to flower! Are there any canna experts out there? Should i just leave it? I've never overwintered tender plants like this before. 🌱🙏🙂 6605

Gudgie @gudgie.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Took this a few days ago, last of the dahlias here in Wiltshire as sub zero temperatures in the last two days has done for all the remaining flowers in the garden. Anyone else in the UK still have any? Can't complain s'pose as it is the end of November! 2442
