25 pence for a MILLION BELLS ?

I just got lucky.

The garden centre down the hill is no longer owned and operated by the Crowder family (since 1789)

It’s now part of a wholesale homogenised UK company :o(

Regardless.

I went this morning and spent a whole £10 on 7 plants. All but one bought from the clearance sale.

The princely sum of 25 pence got a small pot of Calibrachoa … of which I’ve never heard.

But I have the trusty friend Google to consult and it told me that this is a new plant, developed in the 1990’s.

OK.

It’s tiny and a bit brown around the edges but all it needs is lots of love and attention and good food and water and……I’ll get a MILLION BELLS.

Woohoo. Kerching :o)
