An excellent source of quality plants and good advice.

We all have a flower or plant that is nostalgic and memorable from our childhood 🩷🧡 I have a few. One of these is Crocosmia montbretia. It grew beside what we called the waterfall, and we'd walk barefoot in the river in this idyllic spot at our Granny's house in South County Galway 🩷🧡 Crocosmia is a very familiar sight from July onwards all around the country, outside walls of houses and along rural countryside roads. It is a beautiful sight, vibrant orange against the green backdrop. Its flowering time is perfect to coincide with autumnal colours 🩷🧡 While it appears naturally, it is not native to Ireland. It is a hybrid that was introduced into the country. Unfortunately, crocosmia montbretia is an invasive plant. Each corm can reproduce many more, and they survive and thrive on absolute neglect 🩷🧡 If you don't want them in your garden, it may take many attempts to dig out and remove. Be careful about how you dispose of corms afterwards because even what you put in the compost heap will keep on growing. In the UK, it is now illegal to cause it to grow in the wild 🩷🧡 Eventually, over a number of years, you will notice fewer flowers on Crocosmia montbretia. This happens when it becomes too congested where it's growing, maybe beside a wall that acts as a barrier, and the corms become overcrowded, growing back on themselves 🩷🧡 If you love these flowers but worry about your garden being invaded, then you can control by growing in pots or placing barriers in your flower beds to contain them. The pots bring additional work regards watering, you will notice browning on leaves in dry spells and insufficient watering, and they will require dividing every couple of years to avoid congestion 🩷🧡 It is possible to grow in your garden and divide clumps every couple of years. Dry corms out fully before carefully disposing 🩷🧡 Follow us on the links below if you're interested in more information about flowers and plants 🩷🧡 Instagram: https://lnkd.in/eeF4UKDQ Facebook: https://lnkd.in/eamnX3hb #crocosmia #crocosmiamontbretia #meauldflowerandmrsbouquet

Why will you want to grow weeds if it's your garden? Unless you do not care and let things take over your life. The garden that you call your own, is fertile and needs just a good amount of love and nurturing. Seeds may be sowed or just flown into this soil by winds, birds, and all other natural causes. These seeds are all given fodder by you, and amongst those seeds some bloom to flower, some bear fruits, some could be poisonous and some seeds grow to destroy even the good ones. That mind, your garden gets them all in a lifetime. If you do not attempt to filter out the good, bad, and ugly, the bad ones, which unfortunately are powerful in a negative way can make a mess of the garden. As soon as the weed sprouts its head, ensure you pull it off from the roots. This way you are making space for the good ones to thrive. Thoughts, the seeds we have in our heads are the same. Sowed, borrowed, or just flown in from some random place. The bad ones ought to go so that the good ones can survive and thrive. At some point, your garden will have awesome blooms, and healthy fruits and positivity here will create an aura that spills over from the head to the entire persona. Eventually, you will be welcomed as a "positive" entity who brings goodness to every space you go. Life is one, the garden is a gift, and the good seeds are what keep you going ahead while the bad ones are there to take you a few steps behind. That is life because if there was only good how will we appreciate it? Bad has to be around if the good needs to be embraced and nurtured. Water that garden well, let nature help it grow, and ensure you speak to the sprouting seeds, that will eventually become plants and trees. A genuine conversation always uplifts helping the journey of life to take a deviation if needed, yet not get lost So, do not feed those weeds, let them perish or find their way back from where they came. #thoughts #gardenoflife #positivity #nurturegoodgrowth
