    I really didnt feel well yesterday at all and I had to get a birthday present for my Mum we had decided what we were getting and my husband said since I didnt feel so well I should go to bed and lie down and he would go and get it for me, reluctantly I agreed as I love going to garden centres but I really did feel unwell ( turns out I have a head cold started) anyway quite some time passed as he went to the grocery store for me also and when he came home I came downstairs to find he had bought me 8 strawberry plants, a planter, a viola and a maple tree, I had bought a maple a couple of years ago from Wilkinsons and it hasn't done well at all it was a graft and the top part of the graft has done nothing so he thought he would get me a new one here is a picture of the viola he got me I will show photos of the maple and the strawberry's once I have them potted up.

    I love the color, it is a beauty. Your hubby did a great job picking out something very cherry.
    Hope you are feeling better today.

    Thank you so much everyone, I am feeling much better today than yesterday, Just my ears are blocked and I cant hear very well, I have been down at my mom in her garden with her so I am sure some nice fresh air will do me a world of good. I will get to planting up my strawberrys and maple tomorrow I hope.

    Love those thoughtful husbands. That Viola is brilliant. Bet that Maple will be beautiful in the fall.
