I had a lovely Mothers' Day, adding 3 new chrysanthemums to my collection. However, I got really excited this morning when I noticed my Blue Lechenaultias, (purchased 7 months ago and thriving), were in flower. The tiny, dainty blue flowers are vibrant and the plant is really healthy. My brother, a native plant expert and purist, told me when I bought them that he had had little success in growing them in SA, so I feel very honoured that they are doing so well when they could easily have decided not to, as they so often do.
