So,I must sh...Wow, I love that grevillea blossom! <br /><br />So,I must share the horrible fate that has met my schefflera Brevipedunculata--you remember, the one I asked you about? Well, if you can recall, I had first planted it in a too sunny spot, so I moved it to a shadier place but then left on a trip during the hottest weeks and almost killed it. Then, it looked like it was almost pulling through and one day i went out to check on the yard and slipped on a paver and landed squarely on the poor schefflera! The stem broke completely off the root base. Jeeesh. That poor, long suffered schefflera...<br /><br />I went to cistus to get a new one this weekend and then to Pomerius, but neither had any at the moment. The guy at cistus said that they were working on a new bunch of hybrid scheffleras that may be ready in a couple months, so that's cool.fifi la fontainenoreply@blogger.com
