"I couldn't believe when they got to about 6ft there, but they have literally doubled in height now."They are certainly a talking point in the town, with people often stopping to admire them or take pictures."I often see people pointing at them from the passing buses too."May is no stranger to gardening and was previously the secretary of Bothwell Flower Club for 14 years.As a child she used to love attending flower shows with her dad, who was a secretary of the Horticultural Society, learning all about the different varieties of plants.
