We are required to have "face coverings" (of any description, as long as they cover the mouth and nose) when on public transport, but otherwise they are only optional. However, if we reached the numbers of positive cases like many other countries have then we will probably be told to always wear them.At Home In New Zealandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835971617944752730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-41190385662231342712020-09-17T13:51:48.522+12:002020-09-17T13:51:48.522+12:00We will see if my one manages to flower or not - I...We will see if my one manages to flower or not - I better talk to it and tell it what happens to sulky plants that won't flower :))At Home In New Zealandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835971617944752730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-83859847257897309132020-09-17T13:49:12.698+12:002020-09-17T13:49:12.698+12:00Where we live (in the upper North Island) our clim...Where we live (in the upper North Island) our climate is quite temperate and we seldom have freezing cold temperatures and never lots of snow.

I had it in the South window and did all I could to encourage it to bloom but no. So I've put it outside and will see if it is happier there. Of course once it freezes that will be the end of it anyway. I hope your new one does well and blooms as it should.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-27584736701937034082020-09-17T05:47:26.287+12:002020-09-17T05:47:26.287+12:00We are headed to Fall and you into Spring...appare...We are headed to Fall and you into Spring...apparently it doesn't get real cold there:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-53587862979357215632020-09-17T04:38:04.616+12:002020-09-17T04:38:04.616+12:00Wow!
