Hogmanay - is it time to dump the posies of 2009?

Although the garden has just about gone to sleep with all this cold weather, we have plants inside that amuse us.  There is the posy of dahlias we have in the loo.  These were City of Rotterdam and they dried out gradually and were transformed into another phase - a dried posy with considerable attraction.  See for yourself below.  The question is: when to dump?





We have a Camellia in a pot which is early flowering and we take it in to enjoy it close up in the conservatory.  It is a cultivar bred by the Puddles at Bodnant  and has the name 'Hiraethlyn'. It is a lovely simple flower which retains a bell shape and often hangs downwards like a bell.  It does very well in a pot if the vine weevil leaves it alone.  We lost one that way before.
