I spotted this photo opportunity as I was planting up my hanging basket this morning. A large blue pot happened to be behind the purple flower, but it's such an intense blue that the delicate flower looks a bit washed out. Of course I can't remember what the flower is now   |

I had mine in the house, was afraid to put it outside, but then I decided to go for it. It has loved it.
It will have to be lifted in winter though.

Well Andy says that mine will do minus 12 perhaps - so I am going to leave it outside with a fleece coat.

Really. Don't think our temperatures go nearly as low as that. I may risk it, with some cover. Thanks RF.

Mine has stayed outside from being a seedling, last winter it didn't even drop all its leaves, seems pretty hardy to me, and it is growing in a container. x Tig

Ooooh SR don't that Morning Glory look strange being square ;D Can't wait for my morning glory to flower this year. Have just been going through a few photos taken in the last week or so and came across this lovely little pale blue Pratia, label lost so don't know the variety  anyone know what it's called I've got several small clumps of it in pots, apparently it runs riot in the garden if you let it. I like it in pots, it's managable and I can place it where I like then. Have got a darker more purpley/blue one called Country Park which is nice too  |
