3M Jan 2023 10:37am, 11 Jan 2023 20,138 posts	Quote Pin 3M Mine in the garden (so not technically wildflowers I supose!) are currently holding their breath in a rather soggy garden.... Hopefully it'll dry out enough soon so that they don't start to rot when (if?) it warms up! The daffodils are sprouting well, though!
