Free: Lemon geranium pot plant (Caldecott OX14) Gifted Lovely lemon scent. I know I have let this grow too tall. It is now about 75cm high. But I believe that the top could be snipped off and the snipped off bit rooted to grow a new plant. (Ceramic pot not included in offer!)

135d

Free: Small aspidistra plant (Caldecott OX14) Expired Only a small plant but these two leaves are part of an aspidistra that I was given many years ago. A very old-fashioned plant, aspidistras are known as the 'cast-iron' plant as they are very hard to kill off. The Victorians liked them. Does anyone have a corner for this one? To give an idea of the size - it is in a 12cm high pot.
