BBHQ Midweek Highlights: Roses, Water Fountains, and a Site Safety Fix

Bionic Basil’s Blog reports that two roses planted in a raised bed in front of the summer house have been there for two years without flowering. In September they were moved to large pots beside the summer house, where they have tripled in size and flowered in the last couple of weeks.

A dahlia planted in early summer 2025 finally began blooming last week. The plant stands four feet tall and now has two more flowers opening. It had been missing all summer and only started blooming in November.

The blog also warned that the website www.bionicbasil.com had been flagged as an unsafe site and potential phishing scammer. The warning was untrue, and the site’s IT team has applied a fix. Readers who saw the warning are advised to report any future issues.

Other updates include Parsley staying outside at night, Fudge enjoying a new water fountain with adjustable flow, and Melvyn preferring the P.A.’s desk chair.

The P.A. notes she does not watch TV and sits under the gazebo in all weathers.
