Sweet little face RF, I'm not sure if this should be on here or on the Blue thread, it's called Blue Bird but it looks more purple to me. Hardy Hybiscus  Jillyx |

These look like fringed flapper frocks at the moment x Tig That is the most gorgeous colour Tig, it looks almost iridescent. Well done with the cup & saucer vine (proper name escapes me atm) I have one left of the ones that I sowed, it's growing like mad, but no sign of a flower yet. Jillyx |

Thanks for the nom for my fringed flappers Jilly ;D Someone shared that the cup & saucer vine needs to get to 6' in order to flower well, so I put it in a better place this year and it worked (cobaea scandens btw  x Tig |

The cobaea is quite exotic looking isn't it?
Did you grow it from seed Tig? I won some in one of the word search compies so might try it next year.

Yes Jas, grew it from seed sown on 6th March this year after a couple of hours soak. I don't find them the easiest thing to germinate and only 2 came up out of the six I tried to get going  But I'm not moaning now it has started to flower, even though it will be easier for you to see than it is me (nearly 6' high that flower is on the plant!) x Tig |

Ahh, but penstemons are just sooo gorgeous and sooo trouble free...and you are very good at finding them at ridiculous prices Tig ;D  for the scrummy Blueberry Fudge. Don't think I have one of those...... ;D |

Thanks for the noms ladies, it is a big blousey one and I am hoping to take cutting from all of them, they seem slow to get roots in their little pots of water and I'm hoping that the labels don't fall off!

I've been snapping again today cos I spotted stuff I hadn't posted and didn't want anything to feel left out  A lot later than its pink sister, the violet queen has just started to open ...  and I managed to balance on the wall to get a shot of the verbena bonariensis, it must be nearly 6' tall  x Tig |

Mine are still going strong Jas, do yours have the white stripe down the middle when they first open? Mine do, then it disappears!

What lovely flowers Jasmine I would give them a fourth nom if needed. Are they the plants that you've got in your hanging baskets?

Post by Jasmine on Sept 22, 2010 11:54:33 GMT
Yes they are Jilly. They get quite long and I've ended up with them trailing on the floor from tubs so I tend to put them in hanging baskets now.
