But the ones you show in the picture - we haven't had much luck with them either. I can tell by the soil that those plants have never seen the reality of life, they've been sheltered in a greenhouse and once exposed to the elements, they decide they don't want that kind of life and they die. We bought a gardenia last week, we'll see if we can't break the jinx.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391875870787818644noreply@blogger.com
