MySecretIslandGarden | On February 15, 2023 | Transplanted Thought it was a goner, but it has come back and bloomed. I placed it in a plastic pot in a spot where I thought it would be happy and it said yes this is the spot. Into the ground by Rose's and Bush Daisies now, it will have room to grow bigger and be happy. |
