igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)
It was time for another Mad Hatter's Potting Party, in which all the plants get moved up one size (and some of them get discarded to make room/save compost, mainly the shoo-fly plants). And in the bottom of the compost bag, into which other pots had been emptied previously, I once again found a mysterious little set of bulbs or corms.

Grape hyacinth? Or not )

Most of what was getting repotted was Swan River daisies, both pink and blue. They are all now looking very healthy -- finally.


I also repotted the smaller of the two Demon Red chillies (having succeeded in giving away the other two). Like the Swan River daisies the chillies have also been putting on a great rush of growth in the last few weeks and are now eight or nine inches high, but still with only a single flower each, putting them a fortnight behind last year and a month behind my initial attempt in 2021 :-(
