Does anyone else grow these delightful plants? I first saw them at Trelissick, the National Trust garden and found them just entrancing. I have always bought them as growing plants as I believe that the tubers are hard to get established. I now have them in a large array of colours and find them a godsend in the herbaceous border - they flower for weeks and are so cheerful looking. They can be a bit floppy ( I'm not very good at remembering to stake them in spring ) but it is a small price to pay. I really will have to learn how to put photos on here and share them with other fans  |

I have the orange/yellow one and it is a bit of a thug!! A pretty thug though And yes they do have a floppy habit. Had a tuber of the pink one, and it disappeared without trace  OM bought a white one if I remember correctly, they are very pretty. If you want some help to set up a photobucket account Chuckles is brill ;D She has put some info here, but we will all help if you get stuck auricula ;D gardenworld.proboards103.com/index.cgi?board=newbies&action=display&thread=2053x Tig |

I have been somewhat successful - I have opened an account with photobucket and managed to upload one picture. As soon as I can I shall take photos in the garden and see if I can upload them too.Then the biggie.......will I be able to transfer them to here  Well, I'll give it a go, hopefully over the weekend ( but I won't be holding my breath!! ;D ) Thanks again for the info Tig and Chuckles |

Transferring them here is no problem auricula, you just copy a link from the last box under the photo in photobucket (it says copied when you click on it with the mouse, and then you click and paste it into your post - easy peasy for someone of your calibre ;D)

Hmmm...very low calibre I'm afraid - but I'm a game old bird, and I'll give it a shot |
