Smashing depiction, Bill. I’ve just become a pensioner and I’ve gardened since I was a young kid… but had never grown Canterbury bells…until I sowed some seeds last year. They grew well… very well, but no flowers. Read the packet… BIENNIAL… This year, fantastic display… then the flowers withered… snipped them off… a whole new batch of flowers. Smashing!

My grandmother always had canterbury bells beside her back porch where she shelled peas. They were beautiful. I glad you are enjoying retirement, Terry. Have a great week! Bill
