 They only last one day RF But their beauty is such that I don't mind. Some get more than 3 buds per bulb, you may be lucky  x Tig

I love the sweetpea Plocket - very unusual Red freesia which was really fragrant just after the rain  |

Now I'm not the greatest fan of begonias but that has such a luminous quality about it. Lovely |

Here is a pretty little Busy Lizzie but I cant remember its name.  The brown stuff around it is Horse hair to stop the S&S getting to it and it seems to work. |

That's one of those New Guinea hybrids isn't it? Horse hair sounds a great idea Carol What with that and the horse poo for the Ixias, I'll have to get a horse! Trouble is my whole garden isn't much bigger than a decent loose-box  |

Post by Rosefriend on Jul 17, 2008 9:25:08 GMT
No problem Tig and NO - will get as much seed as I can. It is a perennial - I can lose it in a hard winter but it will be fine for the UK. This is the one that I have. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AsclepiasRF |
