Pulsatilla vulgaris 'Pink Shades'

Thats so pretty

Thanks! :-))

Love the pink ones :-))

I was very lucky to find it....

Yes, these pink ones are gorgeous :-)

Now how did I know you'd like it, Louise? :-)

Do you need light soil for these - also do the slugs stay off?

I have snails (grrr!) not slugs (don't know why??) and they haven't bothered with the others I have. My soil is free-draining, but not particularly light, Sarah.

Sarah, mine are in a very light soil, it's probably as bad a soil as it gets there .... but this thrives there !

Hmm this is not encouraging - I have rich thick sluggy soil which is really soggy. I may have to get round to creating a bit of builders rubble!

Quick, i'm on my way ...... i've enough here to supply all of West Sussex :-(

Did you want some slugs Spritz?? I have loads!!!! lol :~))

I thought you might mean pulsatillas Louise and got really excited :-) but then realised you meant builders rubble :- ( lol.

Did you want some free slugs too Sussexsarah, I've got plenty! lol

LOL, sorry Sarah !!!!

Only if we can swap snails for slugs, Flori! lol.

No, have got plenty of those too, thanks Spritz,but generous of you to offer my friend! LOL :~))

I could send you some for FREE???

Very generous of you my friend, but am not into Exchange mollusc's! Have you thought of firing some over to France?, better check your trajectory, specially if the wind's in the wrong direction lol!!! If I set my slugs off to you now, you might get them in, oh, June/July time, all depending on their sense of direction of course!! You'll recognise them, they'll have little daffs behind their ears and answer to the name Eric! :~))

Flori - your geography is terrible! I could send them to Wales, across the Bristol Channel, I suppose - but the wind would have to be in the right direction. France? Too far!! They do fly - into the stream for a swim....heehee, but not to France...

Don't think Hywel into frying snails,probably got enough of his own lol, but the French now.....they do love them so I've been told, so perfect use of recycling don't you think?????? Darn, never was much use at directions,how about parceling them up and posting them by 'Snail Mail' instead??

Who to? (or should that say 'to whom?' lol.

Well, it's our French cousins who insist on cooking them, so was thinking that was a good place to start..........lol :~))

What I meant was - 'to whom do I address the package'?? M. et Mme Qui?

Oh that..........it's just a minor technicality Spritz, just look up any Restaurant with a Michelin star or two, I'm sure they would love 'em! lol Have just set my Erics off in your direction by the way......tee hee hee :~))

Thank you VERY much, Flori - I appreciate that. :-))))) Let's hope the postman loses the parcel in the sorting office....

You don't want that to happen Spritz you might just get them back if they return to sender, you WANT to rehome your snails! My slugs are going by foot? er feet? er slime trail? over to Somerset, a good army marches on its stomach so they say, and these little pesky mites really do!!! lol :~)))

Oh NO - let's hope they get run over on the way, or homesick, heehee.

I've told them all about you Spritz, they are so looking forward to moving in with you....tee hee hee. Have sent them across country so they can have lunch on the way........:~))x

Whose garden are they visiting for lunch? Shouldn't we warn them? ;-/

Not seen a pink flowered one before. Very nice.

Thank you Linda. :-))

Beautiful! I've not seen this colour before,it's lovely.

I was very pleased to come across it, too! :-)

Love the slug/snail comedy!! :))))

Comedy? Who's laughing? ;-O

Tee hee hee.......Well I am for one! Are you sure thats not just a tiny smile breaking from your lips now Spritz....? I think it just maybe you know........go on...., you know you want too.....! :~))

Nope - not after this morning, Flori - the badgers have dug a new tunnel, and my lawn/s look like ploughed fields! Boo hoo!!! I'm crying, not laughing! :-((((

Oh that blasted Badger Liberation Front Spritz!! Am so sorry to hear that Spritz, as know they are the bane of your life, I had thought the electric fence would be sure to deter the little blighters, what is it about your garden that they just won't leave it alone???? Maybe we need to go back to the Jasper Carrot idea.....:~((

The new tunnel is further along the same fence - so hmmm...Jasper Carrott can wait until OH has extended the electric fence, which DOES work!

I must have superior worms in here! LOL.

Lol, well you certainly have superior plants so wouldn't surprise me Spritz :~))

Oh FLORI - stop embarassing me!! Blush, blush!

Hey! I can feel the heat from that blush all the way over here Spritz!! Is it you responsible for all this global warming over there in Somerset???? :~))

No - I normally hide my blushes under a scarf...LOL.
