I'll admit to having bought about 5 types of plants from QVC in the past, as I moved into a house where the garden was just mud and weeds. I've had varying success with some pinks and the begonia corms didn't come to much, but the other plants have done well. I went on what I wanted/liked the look of, not what Richard said. However, since becoming more 'garden savvy' (thanks to this forum's posts about plants that cost over the odds) I have now filled the garden with cuttings from friends and perennials from garden centres and places like Homebase etc.
I didn't know that lilies were poisonous to cats until I read about it here. I don't have any lilies, not do I have any cats but a plethera of neighbouring cats frequent the garden (mainly to keep an eye on the resident squirrels and birds) and I'd hate to think that any of them could be poisoned by anything.
I watched the presentation on the lilies last night and yet again nothing was said about how dangerous they are. I nearly rang in to say how pleased I'd been with previous purchases but that, although I loved the lilies, I'd not get any because they are poisonous to cats. To be honest, the next time lilies are highlighted on one of his programmes I probably will ring in ......... well, there's a first time for everything. :wink:
And if I do get through to the studio, I wonder how long the 'chat' will last before they pull the plug once I mention cats.
