    Nope. Not a sign of life out of mine.

    And, ninecrow, do you have a garden that we can see pictures of? We get pics from Pakistan. Why not England?

    I Live in a flat so No Garden for Me.... ***SIGH***

    I Can ask for some Photos of Mum's or Dad's if You'd All Like...

    Pictures of some English gardens would be fine... They don't have to be yours personally, we like having different ideas bantered about and see what strikes us that we could use in our gardens. Just give a little blurb as to what struck your fancy to take the snap.

    South of Tampa Bay - came back just fine in the neighborhood. I took mine out a few years ago - sphinx moth caterpillars were enjoying them more than I was.

    Hi NC

    We all like pictures! In another forum, I saw pictures of the harvest from an allotment garden or something like that and it was perfect, color coordinated and different family of vegetables in an exhibit, it all look so neat and beautiful!
    We all have to polish our skills as photographers sometimes.:)

    I agree. Mum or Dad or just a picture you snap of something you liked around town. In my front garden I have tried to get a Florida version of the English cottage garden, which of course only partly works because all the plants are different. I like the controlled chaos kind of look.

    And just to double check I did go out and look at the spot where the poinsetta was. Still nothing. :)

    My front garden is certainly chaotic, I am not sure it's controlled though! It wasn't intentional but I suppose it does have an English cottage garden look - which is not really surprising.......

    Didn't mean to hijack ninecrow's thread. I have no poinsettias in my chaotic garden but I noticed that there is no sign this year of my neighbor's plant which is usually huge and beautiful!

    Sis - I want to see more photos of your garden! I like the wild look - no more manicured stuff - and that's how I garden. It started with the idea of having an Enlgish Garden but in the 2, now 3, places I've lived, it ended up looking out of control but I like it that way.
    We may have hijacked the thread (I don't like poinsettias) but maybe we should start one labeled English Gardens wanabees!
    Can I see more pics?
    thanks,
    Hester

    I had one in a pot that was 5 years old. Left it out too long one night, and it died. Only thing that came back up was my wild poinsettias.

    Dirtygardener, Do You have any photos of Your Wild Points to Share?
    Please and Thank you...

    This Photo was taken Just Down the Road from Me 1 Spring

    I love the depth of those colors. And it is not a perfect garden either but I can see why it would catch your eye. Thanks!

    I have never had good luck with Poinsettias either. They always die after the first winter for me.
    Ninecrow, what beautiful colors, love it!
