roots of grass,
seeds of change
where hope dwells

Still thinking about the past weekend’s grassroots peaceful nationwide events and feeling hopeful.
I’m late in posting today’s glimmers. My schedule has kept me busy! you may remember I had gotten a beautiful African Violet plant over the summer. It was three plants in one pot actually, and once the blooms had faded I knew it was time to separate the plants giving them their own bed of fresh soil to settle into. So, I did that over the weekend. On Monday, several days after the transplant each plant is thriving! The hue you see in the photos above is from a grow lamp. I am spoiling them a bit. Well not really. Giving them luscious soil and plenty of UV light is not spoiling. Plants, like people need the most basic things to thrive. Over 7 million people came out on Saturday to remind those who may have forgotten or who just don’t care, of that very fact!
Bonus glimmer! You may also notice my rescued sago pine plant featured above. I had to be very brave in my intervention, clipping away the wilted fronds as was suggested in my research on recovery for sago palms. To my delight nubs of new life erupted from the base. And now a month or more later, just look at those leaf limbs! She is coming back! Such a beautiful soul.
Much love, peace and glimmers to you!

Thanks Di. I’m not at all confident when it comes to growing potted plants. I am amazed I’m keeping them alive! 🥹

New gravatar pic! Nice!!
Potted plants and I don’t get on very well. The soil here is great for roses and they are thriving, but I don’t have to do much other than enjoy them. I invited a neighbour to take a cutting of our Ancient Mariner and he said he got three offshoots from it and they are all doing well! He is so pleased, as an AM bush from the garden centre was over £20!
