Going Grey with Grace

In April, Rod and I took Rod's auntie Grace to morning tea to celebrate her 89th Birthday. Afterwards we returned to her home and she took us through her garden and encouraged us to take any cuttings that we would like.  Most of the cuttings that I took have gone on to become treasured garden plants which  indeed is an encouragement for me to get back into propagating in a bigger way. This grey plant is definitely one of the standouts but there are several other succulents plus tansy, lemon verbena and Chinese lantern bush. My introduction to gardening was instigated through sharing cuttings with my neighbor and then friends. Not only does it save money but it also gives extra meaning to the plants.
