I thought I'd start a thread for my favourite perennials, I love the way that every self sown seedling is a surprise. Here's a few of mine that are just starting.  The return of the frilly knickers i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif   My latest favourite that seems to have sprung out of nowhere  Have had this little one for years, it's an alpine only trouble is it doesn't get many flowers  I did buy this one, Black Barlow  Jillyx |

Love the colour of your latest favourite Jilly.
I planted 3 of my aquilegias out today that I grew from the seed you sent me.

I like the look of them all Jilly. I've still got one or perhaps two left which I grew from the seeds you sent me.  |

What do you think of this one? I'm not sure. It's a pink Clementine Aquilegia.  I think I really prefer the 'Granny's Bonnet' type.  |

I love these plants, Jilly perhaps the little alpine ones likes it colder than in Brighton ;D I know a garden up North where we could try some seed  I have lots of un-named ones in the garden and a couple of named ones I lost all the GreenApples over winter but the Chocolate Soldier and Miss Hushi (I think thats how you spell it) are doing great this year I will take pic's |

Mine do not seem to set seed or multiply at all - nothing much does in this garden....I wonder if it is too wet in the winter months?  |

I used to have borders full of them, but they had to be culled to plant more penstemons (bit of a waste of time that woz!! ;D) I rescued 3 black barlows and they are just in flower, only ickle flowers though I've still got about twenty plants growing in various locations and mine self-seed everywhere, forever pulling up babies. Front garden has paler colours like these  Tig |

 I like the very dark best of all but the pure white are lovely as well. |
