That's an excellent site owdboggy thanks for the link. Such a lot of information too, it's just a shame that it costs so much to send to NI. £16.00 would be too much for me to pay for sure. Love your Helaniums especially Sophie zur Linden and Wonnadonga.  |

Helenium Butterpat  Helenium Double Trouble  Helenium Sophie  Helenium Indian Summer  Helenium Bressingham Gold  Helenium Konig's Tiger That's them all. We have a few of these, but not as many as I would like. And at £5 for a single stem plant we won't be getting many for a while either. |

What a great collection you've got!  My Sahin's Early has fizzled out - it got flooded so I reckon that put paid to it.  I have a few, but nothing as spectacular as yours. |

There are more names than there are colour and colour combinations. We have three at home, these were taken in Special Perennials garden. The camera was playing silly so I did not take as many pictures as I would have liked.

I should be so lucky. Boss will start off the day (we try to get there as soon as it opens) standing outside the Toilets, waiting for me. Then we go round all the stalls, buy what we want and then round the garden. Then we go back to the car and have our coffee. Then it is round the plant stalls (via the toilet again for me) and then home for a late lunch. sounds silly, but that way we avoid the crowds which is what I find difficult.

It will probably be nearer lunchtime when we get there. Unless OH is raring to go, which is unlikely.
