92/366: greenstead not so magnificent

Another problem caused by our extended trip overseas in 2011 came in the form of the lovely little Greenstead Magnificent in the back yard being swamped by the ubiquitous seaside daisy.If I had remembered that I had planted it there, when we returned last October I could have easily trimmed around it, rescuing it before getting to this sad stage.

C’est la vie. The choice between having a healthy Greenstead Magnificent or going around the world for ten weeks is actually no choice at all.

Now let’s see if this plant can manage to regenerate. I shall keep you posted!
