Hard (brittle) thin shell. Perfectly spherical. One half was sometimes semi-translucent. Filled with a white, milky fluid and a single black "spot". "Pop" quite loudly when burst. Could be slow-release fertilizer. Have you just bought the rose or had it been in the old pot for a long time? Been in that pot since we bought it. Fertiliser? OK great, that's a relief. Never seen fertiliser like that before. Thanks. - [H]omer Don't worry about it. Every year there is at least one person who has never seen these and is understandably concerned about them because they are unknown. Nurseries use them quite a lot and we mix them into some composts as a 'standard issue'. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |
