Indoor Gardener

Twenty six years ago I attended a retirement course and, among other things, I learned that I would now have time to propagate plants cheaply for my garden. In all those years I have never done it until now!

A couple of months ago I paid £5.99 for a gloxinia that was my pride and joy - it had ten beautiful blooms and nineteen buds and had pride of place on my coffee table but inevitably it finished blooming.

It made such an impression on me I was determined to try and propagate from it - hence today's picture. Mission accomplished, well almost. I have at least potted some leaves!
