I've never seen one before it's just lovely Isabella.I will have to google it. Plocket your Wesselton is smashing I think I may have to get one at some stage. I'll bet it's a real picture to see it all in bloom.

Lovely purples folks.
I was reading about Akebias a couple of days ago Isabella and tried to google for a good picture - your picture shows it in all its glory.

I love wisteria. I've been growing one in a pot for a number of years now, and it's flowered for the first time this year. Only three flowers, but it's better than nothing!! ;D

Even though I am planting summer flowers I cannot bring myself to throw these out - they are still so lovely.  RF |

Hi Tig. Here are my meleagris/Snakes Head Fritillary. My frits have just come into bloom, so we're still behind you guys a bit but we'll catch up as the season goes along.  Don't know if that white one is a legitimate hybrid that got mixed in with the package of corms I bought, or an "albino". I don't recall seeing it last season.  And here is one of my hellebores that fit the "purple" lable, I think.  |

Very nice Tig. Mine are still at the early bud stage; maybe in a week or so I should be seeing the blooms. I love alliums. I can't imagine my spring garden without them.

The Thalictrum is out and looking good this year.  Two for the price of one it seems - it should be purple. Verbascum Phoeniceum  Not sure about this but decided it could be added to the purple's as well.  Rf |

Post by Ladygardener on May 17, 2009 18:33:29 GMT
Beautiful colours and plants there everyone. Rf your Verbascum phoenicum is much further on than mine, I have flush of White and it'll be weeks before it's in flower.

This one is very early for some reason LG - the others will be a long time before they flower.

Can't for the life of me remember what this plant is called, but I thought I would share it with you.  and wasn't sure where to put this one, Aquilegia Miss M I Huish, grown from seed last year.  |

Cor blimey Bagpuss that aquilegia is lush - well done you!! The one and only Allium Gladiator is out, almost expected it to snap with all the wind we have had, as it is over 4' tall now ..  My 'rabbit ears' lavender is out ;D  And the clematis 'Multi-Blue' (which looks purplish to me  ) is also blooming lovely ..  x Tig |

Post by torontotrini on May 19, 2009 14:27:25 GMT
Still a step or two ahead of us here tig. The buds on my alliums are just starting to show signs of opening, and my multi-blue clem is just budding. Mine also tends to look more purple than blue to me.

Post by Plocket on May 19, 2009 14:49:57 GMT
Erm.... Multi-blue is actually a purple clematis. There aren't really any true blue clematis on the market, yet |
