Busy Lizzies

I wanted to tidy up the concrete planter outside Mum's patio doors and give her something nice to look at all summer, so I thought of Busy Lizzies as Mum always used to have lots of them in the garden and she was forever taking cuttings too. So we went to the local garden centre... who had no 'bedding' Busy Lizzies because they've been struck down with a fungal disease, something that I hadn't heard about. Mum didn't fancy the larger, more fancy, sort so we drove to another place... where they didn't have any either of course, but the fancier ones were much cheaper and she gave in. I hope they'll give her a lot of pleasure. If they get watered in dry spells... oh and aren't they prone to aphids?
