A SOS to any green thumbs out there
I have always found gardening to be therapeutic and it has given me great joy. However, after a major crisis with Mr Darcy's health I have not had been able to get back into it. Have other gardeners suffered from a similar hiatus and how have you recovered and got going again?

PS have a spot that needs filling any recommendations for a 1m high cool climate white flower plant?

Those Leopard Lillies seem lovely @Shaz51
If they look anything like @Former-Member 's picture.
I was just going to ask you if you could post a picture of what they look like (when matured & flowering).
Darcy beat me to it....

This is what Leopard Lily leaves supposedly look like (Ledebouria species) @Shaz51
They're spotted leaves, very nice (even without flowers).

I just bought some of these Epidendrum (Crucifix) Orchids today - Yellow & Orange.
I potted them up.

My last Crucifix (Epidendrum) Orchids died out, several years ago.
I love Epidendrums, one of my favourites - plus hardy & fast growers.

Thanks @Shaz51 Yes they are - or will be, when they flower.
Just green leaves at the moment.
