Be patient - they're notorious for being shy to flower. They might also have had set-backs with last winter's cold. One of my mature plants hasn't flowered this year!

I have had a huge pot full of them for years now and this year only have three flowers! But I think that the slugs have been at them, maybe when it was cold and damp back in May time, little b's, gonna be on the war path next spring!! I didnt think slugs ate these but !!! :0(

Snails hide in amongst the leaves, Grandmage - I found about 25 of them in one plant last summer and disposed of them!

I found loads in the hosta pot and am still finding them but didnt think they would be in agap. pot !!! Were's a toad when you need one?

It was quite funny, really - I picked them off and put them in a trug, turned my back for a few minutes only to find them all crawling (slithering?) out of the trug in a long line straight back to my Agapanthus! Needless to say, they all got collected up and went for a swim in the stream. ;-))

If only I had a stream !!!!!!!!!

LOL. They certainly can't find their way back from the Bristol Channel!

Might take a ride down there then Lol !!!!!!

With some of yours? ;-)

My husband was telling me of a programme where a scientist was studying snails and they have a homing ability. So every time I throw a snail over the hedge into the road, unless it gets run over it heads straight back home again!! Maybe slugs do the same.

Thats all we need Camm, and yes Spritz with a huge bucket of mine !!

Yes, Camm - I read that somewhere, too - that's why I stopped throwing them over the hedge into the farm field. Swimming? I can't see them making their way back, can you? <evil laugh>

Come on then, Grandmage - you're welcome to 'borrow' the stream!

You might find mine invading your garden then !! You wouldn't like that or me !!!!!!

Why? Can slugs swim, Gm? LOL.

Think mine do !!!!!!! and fly ! cos they are up on my decking and in my pots, how did they get there otherwise???

You could make a fortune out of those, Gm...train them and enter for 'Britain's Got Talent'!!!! LOL.

Poor Wynne who asked this question must think we're mad !!! Lol. Hey Spritz, X Factor starts this Saturday!!!!!

Can slugs sing, though? LOL.

We 'are' all mad...;-/

Have just had a big chuckle Spritz at the thought of a singing slug/snail ! Wonderful.

LOL....Poor Wynne indeed. I hope she has a sense of humour, Gm!

Me too !!!!! =`0)

She hasn't said anything - I do hope we haven't scared her away....:-((((

Thought that myself, Lol.

Maybe she didn't log back in to see the answer?

Perhaps it's just as well, Lol !!!

;-/

Thank you everyone. Yes I do have a sense of humour but went off on holiday just after I posted the question. Glad I provided the excuse for some merriment

You certainly did Wynne, welcome back !!!
