In so many ways the persistent rain has been awful but a few warm days - and longer - have paid a small dividend.
My dear mother likes nothing more than pointing to a plant in her garden she "saved" and gloating about paying a pittance for it, as bunnies was throwing it out!

She has 3 sons all career horticulturalists, who wince at purchasing anything other than the very best plant stock.

We all offer to select perfect examples of any plant she desires from our wholesale suppliers. She prefers "saving" unsaleable stock from westfarmers...
