Yes they look lovely I agree about the light. I am so pleased for you, I said they would be ok did nt I. I know they are your favourites.

Thank you all 3...the leaves are all yellow but the flowers seem happy enough!

Most of the leave look ok in this to me, just one normally if they are yellow too much water if they are brown not enough, if you have central heating this might do it, try sticking a saucer or beaker of water by the radiator to give moisture to the air.

I know but the leaves are going yellow quickly & some buds dropping off before opening...yesterday I thought it was dying but today all the flowers so who knows??!!

They're all looking at the view :o)

Are you feeding it and is it a annual or pernial

20 Oct, 2009

 

You might be right Hywel!!

I am feeding it Morgana...but only to prolong it's flowering life! It's an annual that you re-plant every year ...having said that...I'm struggling to find any seed pods so don't know how to keep seeds for next year!

You allow one of the flowers or some of them to go to seed don't dehead, there is one that is a perenial, which I did nt realise there was one but there is. Here is the link to a perenial one. http://home.att.net/~larvalbugbio/glories.html If you get any seeds place them in a air tight container in the fridge.

I'm looking for seed pods where a flower has dropped off but there's nothing there at the time...I guess they form later. Thanks for the link Morgana...I must try different ones next year...it would be great to have a perennial one in the garden.

Look out for perenial Blue Dawn, or evergreen one called Ipomoea Indica, which the flower is identicle to the annual one.

Thanks Morgana...I've read all the stuff about the perennial one on your link & the pretty smaller purple one looks lovely too.

21 Oct, 2009

 

I'd have a whole garden full of them if I could!

21 Oct, 2009
